with Excaliber. Mrs. Oldgringo's CW is a S&W 638-3. It is light, it is concealable and it is handy and it is simple. It is not fun to shoot but it will get the job done - you betcha'. It also will fit in my pocket on dress up days.
She prefers her snubbie over a Sig P230 SL or a SA XD 9 SC, both of which are smaller guns and both are available to her.
Good luck.
