My 2nd W was 4’ 10 1/2”, and I worked all night for most of our marriage*. I got her a Model 36, and for her “home defense” loads, I handloaded. No copper — I put hollow-base wadcutters upside down over 3 gr. of Bullseye.

She handled it fine on the range, there was lots of booger-scaring flash and bang and smoke in the dark (we practiced that so she’d know), they’d neutralize anything she hit, and her misses wouldn’t take out the neighborhood. Wins all the way around. And she cleaned it herself after range workouts :-).

* I was in Nam most of my first. Finally saw the trend, adapted, and Mrs. U #3 and I are going on 45 years. I had a couple of 75-hour jobs, but I’ve been home every night…
