The upside to the internal hammer revolvers is a woman could actually fire it from within her purse. You wouldn't want to do that with a gun utilizing a external hammer/slide. Personally, I would not put myself in a position to have to defend my life with a .22 caliber. Of course, it's better than nothing but you should have no problem with a .38 or 9mm(only reason I say .38 is because it's probably more common with the smaller revolvers that women seem to be more fond of.) The recoil is minimal and really it's about practicing with it and having good technique. If you are using it for protection you should be at the range with it until you are proficient and comfortable using it. One thing I always put on my guns are good night sights. Most gun fights happen at night and tritium night sights make a world of a difference. Lasers are cool but in a adrenaline fueled moment they are a lot more erratic and harder to use than you would think. Learning to use the sights properly with lots of practice is the way to go. Usually, the concealed weapons classes are quite informative for most people.
