Thanks guys. I might try the bersa first. It seems pretty cheap and easy to find.

My wife is a new shooter as well, and has small hands, she hates the ruger LC9, she said its too thin and it hurts the web of her hand. She likes my Bersa thunder 380, but even that hurts alittle. She has shot ruger lcp, lc9, bersa thunder 380, 9mm makorav, and several other pistols of similar make and modle.
Now when i put my 1911 in her hands i cant keep it loaded and i need to find a second job to afford the ammo. She says the .45 isnt so snappy and the weight and size make it a dream to shoot.
I plan to buy a kimber ultra carry next and she thinks she is going to take it from me :-)

Not to mention the bullets are cheaper.
That's what I would reccomend. If you're going full size, just get a 9mm.
But if you're dead set on .380 Walther PK380 is a pretty good choice.

Try to find some of these guns either at a range to try out or maybe borrow from friends/TBHers. Everyone is different and each gun fits differently. My wife has small hands, I guess they're small, but she likes my G19. So much so that I bought a new G23 for me and I'm giving her the G19.
And if target shooting gives her any grief buy her some shooting gloves for range time. When the **** hits the fan, even the largest hand cannon won't have any felt recoil...
