She has shot a ruger sr9 and several revolvers. I have hunted with long guns since i was old enough to walk, but i have not shot pistols very much and i just don't know much about pistols. The gun shop recommended the sig and I was looking for ideas if this is a good gun or if something might be better. Looks like it is like long guns, everyone has an opinion. So we probably need to look at several, find the one that feels the best and go to the range.
Yup! And find the ammo that that gun likes. That goes for both cycling and accuracy

My wife started shooting a Walther P22 - when she wanted to take the carry class and start carrying she got a Walther PK380. Same fit, feel & function just with a little more recoil.

S&W 642 Airweight with standard 38 Special Buffalo Bore 158gr SWCHP ammo. Swap the springs out with Apex spring kit for reduced trigger pull.

Don't overlook the Kahr line of guns. Most of them the women love the feel.

A DA 38 revolver is perfect.. they dont have to worry about slides,jams,safteys, or any of the other malfunctions related to a semi auto.. in a have to case.. all they have to do is point and pull the trigger...

Just bought this one for the girlfriend. It's a really good shooting little gun and I'm gonna get one myself. Only 50 rounds of cheap steel Russian ammo and it shot good but jammed 2-3 times (could of been from not having a firm grip) all in all I love this little gun.

Ruger has just introduced their LCR revolver in a 6 shot 22 mag. I wish it were a 9 shot, but 6 22 mags would do the trick, with low recoil. It would alo double as a good gun to carry when I'm wade fishing, snake shot loads for mr no shoulders, and Gold Dots for bigger meaner stuff.

If the woman isn't that familiar with semi autos then a wheel gun is the way to go. If she is pretty familiar then any of the sub compacts would work, in my mind anyways. My mother carries a Ruger SP 101. She said if a semi auto jammed she wouldn't know how to fix it in a tense situation.

I know a lady who carries a .45...and I know women who are squeamish about shooting a .22. Best thing to do is go to some ranges (each range may have something different to try) and try some out. She'll "know" which gun she likes.
