Let her try the P365 Rose, designed by multi world champion shooter with women in mind. I'm a guy but it's my daily carry. Ported slide reduces recoil a bit.
I bought a Sig P365 for my wife and it was too heavy and the recoil was punishing. My wife is less than five feet tall and we want
a caliber to carry and have a little stopping power. How is the Ruger LC in .380? Thank you
THis has probably been suggested already. I have not read the whole thread. I´d recommend trying the Smith & Wesson M&P .380 EZ. I had one for my ex wife and she was very sensitive to recoil. She did just fine with that gun.
