My wife is interested in getting her own pistol to carry for self defense. She has tried my .357/.38 spl single action loaded with .38 spl and didn't really care for it, she tried my .45 1911 and it had too much recoil and it's too large.
She wants something easily concealable compact/subcompact, with moderate recoil in a semi-auto.
I haven't had much experience with pistols, I carry my 1911 and love it but have no idea what she should get, we're in the $500ish price range in NH. Can people give me some ideas on reliable easy to handle/shoot firearms and good calibers to look for?
