let her choose
My wife has an LCP GENII she likes it better than the G42she just doesn't like racking,so I'm going to get her a J frame and give the LCP to my daughter.
That's easy, load it with one in the tube then top off the mag. Make sure it's in a holster and you're all set. I have a LCP Custom myself. Of course if you don't mind the bulk a J frame is a better choice for folks who want simplicity.

A shield in 380 would be tempting! I think a 9/10 round magazine would not be beyond the realm of possiblity....that would be nice!
My wife carries the 642-2 shown below every day. She asked me for different grips than the ones pictured. After letting her try everything from rubber Uncle Mikes, Ahrends and a few others, the ones she felt most comfortable with are the old S&W "Banana" style wood grips.
She is training with the Browning Black Label 1911-380 I got her for a present last year. The pistol has three major advantages over the J- Frame; it is more comfortable to shoot, has tritium night sights plus the Crimson Trace laser I added and holds 10 rounds of ammo. The slide on the Browning is very easy to manipulate and the magazines are pretty easy to load too. Price is the only drawback.

With proper wardrobe, a small person can easily carry a full-size fighting pistol.
I carry the BG380 because it is small.
It's not "too small." It's just right for the application to which I apply it.
If the lady wants a larger gun, that's her choice for her application.
No problem.

BG too small
I too would recommend the P32. I realize KelTek has had a few "stinkers" over the years, but the P32 is an absolute gem. We know several women shooters who love them
Kel-Tec P-32 (about same size as BG380) on the left.

The first determination it needs to be made is what is the purpose of the handgun, my wife hates My Bodyguard she doesn't like anything about it however I love it because it's so concealable and I can shoot it accurately especially with an XS Big dots late on it however your needs will dictate the type of firearms, trigger,ect... and if she's just using it for home defense it can be a bigger full size firearm for her but if she's going to carry it or put it in a purse it's going to have to be something small that she can use but hopefully never have to and none of the small guns are fun at the range

I must say I feel your pain I'm in the middle of this at the moment with my wife as well, with a grin I say she's been ruined after falling in love with my CZ SP01 tacticle/Cajun gun works trigger job.
But now we are moving on to her carry options and frankly she isn't willing to dress differently, soooo, that will put her in the bodyguard, rm380, lcp, kahr no good for her due to the terrible hard slide rack, sheild's to big, even lc9s is to big.
it's tough, so buy her two guns!!! one to love shooting and one to carry for safety, and for she likes purple buy her purple lol

Actually, the Sig P938 is a 9mm. I believe you meant Sig P238. This is an excellent shooting 380. Traded in my BG380 for the Sig P238 Equinox and never looked back.
