It is hard to imagine a situation where she will require more than 6 rounds, or have time to shoot more. That's what she'll have in the aforementioned Ruger LCR .22 Mag.

Fyrtwuk, thank you! The laser is a great trainer, but it becomes a talisman and then an albatross because people quit training. Oh yeah, people don't stare at their chest when they break into your house. If your wife can pull the DA trigger on a wheel gun Dennis, its a good option. If you want to go semi, look at the PK380 if she has trouble working the slide. If you go to Wilshire, come and say hi. Our store is only a couple miles from there. Drag George with ya!

If they want to keep it to a day trip, better make George drive his own.

My wife had trouble with the slide, tried a Sig 938 and loves it, but it is not DA. One nice feature is the ability to leave the safety on and rack the slide when unloading.

Ding! Ding! We have a winner!
We rented guns at Wilshire and H&H.
Visited a half dozen gun shops.
At Wilshire, we had a Sig 239 in .380, a Sig 938 in 9mm, and the new Glock 43 single stack in 9mm side by side for comparison. Target at 7 yds.
She was all over the target with the 239
Shot the center of the target out with the 938, and did fair enough with the Glock.
When she shot the Glock, she had a lot more recoil issues than the 938.
I think the over molded hogue grips with finger grooves on the 938 may have made it more manageable.
Went to Hoov's shop, where they had a Glock 43 on the shelf.
I tried, and Hoov tried to talk her into the 43, because it was pull and shoot without the slide safety of the Sig, but she didn't like the grip, and remembered the recoil issues. There was a set of night sights on the wall ready to be installed on the spot. No go.
Rented a Walther, and M&P shield at H&H.
No go.
Ended up bringing home a 938 with factory installed night sights and a factory trigger guard laser that may or may not stay on. I don't like the ergonomics of it, and it interferes slightly with the grip.
Not my gun, so it's up to her if it stays on or not.

Super! Glad you came home with something she's comfortable with. That's what matters. Now, get her out there to break that thing in right! I know you will. I'm also glad she came to the realization on her own that there is a genuine need.

Sounds like a good ending to a good day to me.

Did you test fire anything? Any hints for her?
