I never really understood "women's" gun. Aside from possibly smaller hands, there really shouldn't be much difference. And some guys have small hands as well, so...
The first revolver I handed my wife, who has smaller hands than me, was a Ruger SP101 3". At 15 yards, she could fill your hand with 5 rounds, DA. SA wasn't much of an option, due to lack of strength, and I might argue technique, to cock the hammer. In hindsight, I should/need to reintroduce her to revolvers. I'm not a fan of the Shield she has. More importantly, I don't believe she's that comfortable with it.
My niece, who was in the police academy at the time, is 5 foot nothing, 100 and nothing. She was shooting through various guns I'd laid out for her. When she got to my full size 1911, it was love at first shot. Sadly, her department didn't feel the same ; )
