My oldest daughter has a shield 380 ez that her and her husband bought together from a salesman that talked then into that model. She hates it. She likes my wife's shield 9 better. My wife is pretty small, she has no issue racking the slide on the standard shield 9. Last I checked 380 ammo was higher than comparable type 9mm, another reason to lean against the 380.Yep! She can shoot my 9 but I popped the clip out last night and had her try racking the slide. It was a struggle to say the least. That makes me believe a hammerless revolver is the way to go. I realize some slides work easier than others so the point you make is a good one. I also wonder about ammo, I have seen 9mm at different places but is 380 or 38 hard to find or is it popping up now. Thanks for all the information that is being given I am looking at each pistol and reading about it as you recommend it. This would be to carry in her purse . Thanks again for all recommendations!
Good advice on letting her handle different guns. I had my wife check out several at academy in Jackson. She liked the feel of the shield over the others, fit her hand well.
