Browning 1903 .380 as a defense weapon

[Oleg Volk]

I am looking for house gun for mom. She's using a Buckmark 22 now. 1903 caught my eye because it was surprisingly easy to rack, has a decent trigger and has a layout similar to the Buckmark. If it is small enough for her hands, how would it stack up sgainst .32/.380 Colt Hammerless 1908?
I have a chance to get one semi-ugly for $260 with three mags.

The 1903 has an excellent reputation as a self-defense weapon - I've been looking for one for a while to add to my collection of pocket pistols and that price is certainly one of the lower prices I've seen.

I find them to be reliable and accurate little handguns.
