It is JMHO, I repeat JMHO...but revolvers aren't something a newbie can just pick up right out of the box and begin blasting away with like the semis.

I see it the complete opposite. Airweight J-frames are pretty cheap, nearly everyone can figure out how to operate one, no extra magazines to buy, low maintenance and they work. My elderly mother got her ccw and the instructor kept pushing her to get a Glock 26 despite never being to rack it and struggling to remember the steps to load and unload it, not to mention the high probability of malfunctions. She's safe and competent with her S&W 442.
