gotcha.longtooth wrote:strength problem was that she could not stand the recoil of the light revolvers. She can rack a slide on some a time or two. Past that it gives her problems. In training & practice I did it for her. For carry she can manage it to load & ready. Biggest thing I think is that she wants to be as much like my Mother as she can. She thinks Mom does everything right including shoot. Mom does shoot good for 75 too.

How would strength problems preclude a revolver? And if she really has strength problems, can she work the slide on a semi-auto?longtooth wrote:This is my general opinion also. Flint you remember the lady at the class you attended. She really has the strength problems. Size & recoil are issues. That precludes the light revolvers. She seems determined to carry a semi.
If she likes sem-autos and is determined to carry one, she could get a Beretta .380 with the tip up Barrel.

From a guy who works at a gun range, I would not buy a Bersa for protection. My experience shows they are hit and miss with reliability, with more misses than hits.
The Sig, or even the new Walther, would be better choices in .380. But you can get an actual 9mm from Kahr that is smaller than all of those, extremely reliable and packs the punch of a 9mm over a .380.
A J frame S&W revolver would also be ideal.
