Agreed, but what is "a safe chamber"? All DA modern revolvers are safe and can be carried fully loaded - do you mean an empty chamber, a'la a Single Action Army style pistol?

I carry two .38 snubby's all the time (Taurus AL Model 85 and Rossi steel snub - basically a Model 85). Fully loaded w/ 5 rounds.

But, let her go to the range and pick a few to try - we had a bunch of ladies in our Basic Pistol class on Saturday that started out on 5 shot snubbys and ended up w/ 9mm pistols - XD compacts and Taurus PT111G2's. You can always swap springs for easier slide racking.

I'm trying to figure out how to carry my SD9VE daily now... love that huge thing :-P
