Background:
Wife is an excellent shot. She doesn't much like the recoil of the larger caliber rounds (.40S&W, .45ACP) but she can shoot them.
She is undergoing her second bout of breast cancer, physical stamina/strength is reduced right now.
Purchased a M&P Shield 380EZ Performance Center for her. She has no issues with racking the slide, hence the EZ nomenclature. She is getting better with it. She also tried the Bersa Thunder 380 and like it as well.
Purchased a Taurus TX22 a few weeks back. Did a thorough clean, polish and lubrication. She loves it. Shot great. Practiced at 7 yards.
She also rocked the Grand Power K22 and absolutely loves the S&W Victory.
She now has 16+1 rounds of Federal Punch 22LR in her dresser. She will eventually move to the .380 but needs more time.
In 2015, I got her a Sig P938 because the slide seemed easier to rack and it is easy to conceal on her person. She has only about 25 rounds run through it.
I was going to sell it but she poured water on that idea. I think because it is the first pistol I bought her when we transitioned from our 20 year best friends relationship to husband/wife.
Take away. I was purchasing for her what I thought she would like but the best route is to purchase what she will shoot. For my wife, 22LR and .380 are about her limit of interest.
