Charter arms 38 special

Do your homework next time and dont buy your wife a without her pulling the trigger (preferably on a range so she can feel recoil as well). Buying her a cheap POS off brand snubbie is incredibly condescending and is the first step in making your wife hate guns forever

Charter Arms isn't off brand. They're like Hi Point. Quite well established, actually.

Nobody is calling them as being high quality pieces but it's not like you're buying a Jiminez.

Posted this info in a previous thread, just bought and picked up a S&W Model 36 Chief's Special for the wife. Reasons; She had Firestar in 40 S&W, but her wrists weakened by decades of computer work made racking slide impossible for her. Plus always complained about the weight of Star and as result would leave it in drawer defeating purpose of her have a carry gun for moving around on property. She loves the J frame, even after being a little surprised by the recoil at first which had the added plus of her wanting to practice more to learn to control the firing, something that had gone to the wayside with her 40. Now my only problems are keeping her in 38 special practice ammo and targets. I am really liking the Smithy J frame.
