Saw this small pocket pistol at the shop. I am concerned about the pistole I bought for my wife and saw this one:
1. Small, wife has small hands
2. .38, I personally don't like the kick of a 38 in a PPK but don't know how this compares and recoil will be an issue since my wife can't fire my Steyr m40
3. Indentation in rear of slide looks easy enough to grasp to rack, which my wife can do with her FEG 22 (PPK clone), but not my M40
4. Small grip=perfect
5. questionable trigger pull is DAO which my wife has difficulty with in my M40.

Any comments would be appreciated, I just don't know if she would all together do better with a revolver. Thanks
 
Hello Mept. The Sigma .380 is the only one that I've actually seen that seems to work.
They do have limited life-spans I'm told, something on the order of 2 or 3 thousand rounds, but then they don't cost alot, either. The 3 that I've shot were reliable with ball and several types of JHPs. Trigger pulls were not all that good, but usable at close range. Best.
