If this is the case she can carry anything she wants. She is not limited to small, concealable handguns. My wife purse carries and her two favorite guns are a M28 4" and a M&P9C. She's 4-11 and also not particularly strong. If shown how to do it properly, almost anyone can cock anything. I've seen petite females pick up Harley Davidson's that have been dumped. It's all about leverage.

Shooting through the purse (or pocket, or coat, or whatever) is a dumb idea. Not only will there probably be a fire, but the hollow point will probably plug. Sights are put on guns for a good reason. If the assailant is too close to use the sights the incandescent gases do really nasty things to a body from a contact wound.
