Check out the RM380
My mother is in her late 60's and isn't as strong as she used to be. We recently went shopping for her carry gun. She was looking for a small 380 semi-auto. After trying several different brands she settled on the RM380 for a couple of reasons that might help the OP decide which direction to go. First and foremost is that she can actually rack the slide. It was the ONLY one she could work properly. Second was that the trigger was manageable, unlike some of the revolvers, who's triggers were to far forward of the grip for her to get her trigger finger in position, the RM380's was in just the right spot. Third it needed to be small enough for her to conceal. Those reasons made up her mind for her.
There are some drawbacks too. The most noticeable being the muzzle blast.....if you ever have to use that gun indoors it's gonna be rough. Also the guns recoil is noticeable. It's not objectionable.....The gun just reminds you how small and light it is when you pull the trigger. The trigger pull is quite long. Being a hammer fired, double action only pistol it's just the nature of the beast.
I like the gun too.....that thing just works and is pretty easy to field strip. It's pretty accurate too.
