My ex-gf was really tiny, like 4'10", and surprisingly, her favorite guns of mine to shoot was my Dan Wesson 715 with the 4" barrel on it. She liked the 158gr. .357 stuff the best. She said she liked the sonic boom hitting her face more than the .38spl stuff I started her with. She also liked my .45 EAA Witness, but she said the grip area was just too big for her. She did shoot it pretty well for a gun that was too big. She was the only one of my girlfriends over the years that actually liked to shoot.
