My wife is little bitty, has little bitty hands, and hated guns and was VERY recoil shy. Her gun? A Ruger GP161 with small grips. She shoots .38 Special +P 125 grain HP and loves it. Accurate, very little recoil, very little muzzle blast, simple, and after replacing the springs with light Wolffs, easy and smooth to shoot. Hers is for HD, but it was a great start. She really loves going to the range now, and has tried some light magnums. She's not jumpy, but just doesn't care for the heavy loads. She tried everything in the rental rack, and that is the one she felt "fit" her.
