My wife had the j frame for years, I had the trigger worked and it was not bad. She just did not handle it all that well she is 5 foot tall as well. She has been very happy with the Kahr p380 she has now. She can shoot faster and with better accuracy with this pistol. Further it is more compact easier to carry. I have the glock 380 and a Kahr CW380 as well. Of the three the glock is the biggest and easiest for me to shoot, my wife prefers the P380, I got the CW380 in case we ever stay at a motel 6 and need two of the same small 380's
