Looking for pistol options for my wife...

We are on a quest to find her a pistol that she actually enjoys shooting and shoots well. 9mm or 380. 9mm hopefully just because we won't have to start stocking up on 380. (Have plenty of 9mm)

She loves her TX22 & my PPK/S 22LR so maybe a G3? She wants to handle a Ruger Security 380, but no local shops have had one yet.

She had a Shield EZ 9mm, G44 and G43X, but none worked out so they got sold.

I'm thinking we need something with a 5" ish barrel, but not heavy. Muscle challenges with her hands prevent her from shooting my 1911 or even TP9 SFx for more than a few rounds due to the weight of the pistols. :( She also has challenges racking most slides.

Are there are legit contenders in this space?

Might want to try a HK VP9 if you can find a range that rents them.

I see a lot of Sig 238/938 but personally I’m not a fan. I had a 938 I couldn’t shoot worth a lick so that went down the road. A woman showed up at a 3 day class I did last summer and her 238 didn’t make it thru the first hour. I talked to one of the instructors at lunch and he said he’s never seen one of the little 1911 style guns hold up for an entire class.
