I'm looking at either Revolver or Semi, but won't know for sure until after we go and hold both to see what she's more comfortable with.
She's gone shooting with me multiple times and is a pretty decent shot.
So, what do the women of this forum have and how do you like it? Do you just carry it in your purse/car/house?
Looking at S&W BodyGuard, Shield, Glock 43.....something along those lines.

Olive a good pun as much as the next guy, but that was bad.

if she's going to carry in a purse or somewhere else where it'll share the compartment with a bunch of other stuff, she obviously shouldn't carry a semi with one in the chamber, so if you want immediate usage availability (a requirement for me, personally), you're basically down to a revolver. in that case, i'd recommend a shrouded hammer; it gives you the ability to cock to a hair trigger without a hammer sticking out to catch while being drawn. my ex tried several pistols and liked the S&W 638 [smith-wesson.com] most, and when i added a Crimson Trace laser grip, it was easier to shoot and gave her a lot of confidence.
all that said: i know people who swear by their LCP, and it's a must-try for anyone looking for a pocket pistol. it was the lightest .380 on the market at one point, it's crazy small, and every pistol fits everyone's hands differently, so it might be a pleasure to shoot for some.
