My wife has the same problem with semi-autos. Most are to hard for her to rack the slide. After trying several, we went with the Walther CCP. Shoots great right out of the box and the way it is designed it is easy for her to rack the slide. Very slim profile and it is in 9mm but doesn't have an obnoxious recoil. Very easy to do double-tap with. She says it is a joy to shoot with standard and self-defense rounds. They are not very expensive either. IMHO - they are a great value and are a good gun for anyone that needs a CC that is easy to rack and shoot.
