Smith & Wesson 317 8-round 22.LR weighing in at 10.8 oz. is ultra concealable in a belly band and completely controlable. Ruger LCR is noticeably bigger, heavier, but carries well OWB, has a better trigger than the Smith. Both are desirable carry weapons when "nothing is going to happen"...

By all means take a look for your wife at the six shot, snub nose Charter Undecoverette in .32 H&R Magnum.
