My vote is for the Ruger SP-101. Distance from back of grip to trigger fits many women well and the heft esp. in the 3" tames recoil. A Wolff spring kit is easily installed if the pull is too much for arthritc hands. Just be sure to check for reliable primer strikes for the ammo used if lighter springs are employed. Crimson trace makes at least two laser grips for this model. No lawyer lock is a plus.
