Look into the Kahr PM9- single stack, small and a nice gun.
I'm not a big girl, but I handle our Springfield XD9 SC just fine. Not a fan of little 22's.

I can now see how your marriage will end; with her putting a bullet in your head while you sleep.

S&W .38 special "Lady Smith" Simple to use, never jams, and no safety to deal with. The perfect choice for women to conceal carry.

I absolutely despise revolvers. It all boils down to what she is comfortable firing. and carrying. My suggestion is to go to a few different firing ranges, and rent a few different guns.

Too small of a gun would suck because it's difficult to shoot it well.
Get a well used Smith&Wesson K-frame revolver with about 3" barrel chambered in .357 Magnum but use .38 Special until she is comfortable enough to go with the bigger bang. Something along the line of a Model 66 (stainless steel) or Model 19 (carbon steel). Or the various .38 Special ONLY K-frame like the Model 10, Military&Police, etc. Snubnose wheelguns like the Smith&Wesson J-frames 5-shooters are difficult to learn on because they're so small. Easy to carry doesn't translate to easy to shoot. Notice that I am not even recommending a small or medium autopistol. If you're a noob, then start with a decent revolver. Neither she nor you are SWAT commandos and the need for 15-rounds magazines is pretty slim to none. Nice to have, but not necessary.

Lisa loves our Glock 26 - she's very comfortable with it. She finds it light and comfortable while holding it, and shoots some pretty tight groupings with it.

If you like the idea of a 22 auto you would be hard pressed to find a better buy than the Walther P22
To echo an earlier thought though you would be hard pressed to find a more relaible easier to use handgun than double action revolver |
