My wife and daughter basicaly shoot the same handguns I shoot. Wifes favorite is an old Ithaca 1911A1. However one BIG advantage of both K and J frames is that it is easy to swap grips and find something that works for all of us. It may not be the SAME grip for all of us but we often swap grips during shooting sessions. Wifes carry gun right now is a CZ82, but that will change soon I expect.
