The advice on two of the same firearms is exactly the route I wanna take, that's a wonderful idea!!!!whichever gun decided on, i would recommend getting two exactly the same for each of you., with some speedloaders
a .357 with a 3"-4" barrel would be a good choice. then for practice, use .38spec ammo, but try out the .357 also in practice, to be used to the higher recoil & noise.
smith & wesson, taurus, rossi, there are several names, the first smith will be the highest cost..
