Well, here we go again. My wife has developed a mild interest in shooting (handguns), and is contemplating a concealed carry license. She's been shooting a S&W Model 36 (.38 sp) revolver with a 3" barrel, and really likes it.
There's no problem with that except that in Texas if you qualify for a concealed carry license with a revolver, you're only allowed to carry a revolver with your license. If you qualify with a semi-auto, you can carry either with your license.
Is there a small (she has small hands), fairly light, relatively soft recoiling semi-auto pistol that anyone could recommend? I'm fairly familiar with what's available but wonder if I've overlooked something. I'd also prefer a manual safety on the pistol, so that kind of leaves out Glocks. I was wondering about a semi auto from S&W. I've got a 6906 (9mm,DA/SA), but it's a double stack so the grips are a little on the large size.
Thanks
