I've noticed what some people have mentioned. that is women want what they want. The nice thing about revolvers is grips are changeable. I've noticed women tend to like the Hogue grips. In the classes I've taught they tend to gravitate to Ruger Six series guns, K frame smiths and such for just shooting. A little heavier gun mitigates recoil, and some aren't really open to that. I'd also consider starting them with 22's for just shooting. Or start with center fire cartridges and a fair amount of dry firing get's them used to the idea. Good luck you have your job cut out for you. My wife likes her 4" Security six. FWIW. I'm working on her to try a Beretta 84 that I picked up recently. It'll be something that has to come with one up the spout because she can't pull the slide back. But the other side of the equation is the mag holds 13 rounds.
