My wife had a stroke years ago and lost a lot of her strength in her right side. She wanted protection to carry so we went looking to get her a gun . We purchased a Glock 42 for her but she had a hard time cocking the gun so i looked into the Bond Girls Mini 38/357 for her at Christmas she loves it, wore it all day Christmas even though i wouldn’t give her a bullet till she shoots it at the range. She now carrys with ammo and can hit targets.She loves it and can shoot it accurately.
