1911 is great....and I agree that it is the best for a .45 caliber frame. However, if you (or her) is not stuck on the 1911 system, you might want to look at the Taurus. It's not exspensive and my wife really loves hers. I lijke the single stack magazines.... but she prefers the double stack. It's simple....as she says, "safety off annd start shooting"
