My wife had been carrying a semi auto .380 which she found difficult to chamber and generally not user friendly. I suggested a Snake Slayer (because I really wanted one too). Since receiving it she has fired it a bunch and really likes everything about it. especially the sound-BOOM!. Its now always with her where legal where as the .380 was mostly in a drawer. She now feels more secure with a gun that is easy for her to handle. Oh yeah I got one too!
