My brother in law, who has never shot a gun in his 58 years, wants a home defense gun. I want to take him to the range and let him shoot my model 10 .38 Spl. and a .22 revolver, then a full-size 9mm, Beretta 92, maybe a .32 semi-auto, and see what he can shoot comfortably. I would feel better putting a revolver in his hands, as they are about as basic as one can get. Then I thought about S&W's EZ 9mm & .380, as they hold a few more rounds. Perhaps a shotgun, but he'd just like a handgun. I think letting him shoot what I have mentioned above, then going from there. (And, of course, making him take a training course at a local range with whatever he decides he's comfortable with.) Anyone have an idea for me; or am I on the right path?
