I'd like to add "plumbing" to the list of things I absolutely ****ing hate doing.
Water's off, fans are running. Let's try this **** again tomorrow.
Mom, revolvers, are always good ..... S&W, or Ruger ?????
Either of those would be options. I have always been partial to .45's but I am looking for something fairly easy to conceal so may consider a .38 or .380.
My dad taught me on revolvers when I was a kid so I've always liked them, but when I told hubby I wanted a gun...he started me out with a Springfield .45 semi auto. That is my favorite pistol that I currently have.

An SP-101 or a K-frame snubby would be good. I wouldn't go J-frame because you're already used to carrying a larger gun.
That's a J-frame. They're nice to carry but they can be snappy.Snap, I got the wife a little 642 Airweight 5 shot. What frame is that?
I carried a 66 for years and couldn't even tell you what frame that is. Never kept up on the wheel guns very good.
That's a J-frame. They're nice to carry but they can be snappy.
Are there some J frames that are less snappy than others from what you have seen/shot?
I just got a LC380 for the wife to carry. She fell in love with it. It is just the perfect size for her hand and it's light as well. She likes it better than the LCP she has tried out before.
I would stay away from an airweight. I'm not as familiar with the new models as I am with the old, but in the older models, a model 36 is heavier and the model 37 is an airweight. I have both.
If you don't mind a little more weight, go with a steel one for less recoil. I think it's a Smith 640 that is all steel. The Ruger SP-101 is also a great gun. I almost prefer it to the Smiths. If you want something really small but not bad to shoot, look at the Ruger LCR. I have one in .357, but I only shoot .38 out of it.
Just googled this since I wasn't familiar with the model. I see this is a semi auto and I already have a few of those. .45 is as small as I want to go with one other than maybe a 9. Hubby has a nice 9 mm Springer compact that is about the same size/weight as my .45 ultra compact and they shoot almost exactly the same.
As Snap has said earlier, the J frame might be a little small for you if you're used to a .45.
