Default Consider teaching her......

I'd love to have her carry my .32ACP Seecamp, but she lacks the hand and upper body strength to cycle the slide. I've toted the Seecamp for years. It's not a fun pistol to shoot, and I cannot imagine trying to shoot one in .380ACP. When I first acquired the Seecamp many, many years ago, the WW-Silvertips were the only rounds recommended by the factory. I know from experience that I can hit the target reliably with Silvertips, and as I am old and kind of reluctant to change, have just stayed with the Silvertips even though other ammo is now approved by the factory: L.W. Seecamp Co. - Ammo Recommendations

Good luck,

Dave
Consider teaching her the "Left hand acroos and hold the slide and the right hand pushes the frame" technique for cycling. Makes hard slides much easier to handle.
