So many options, but some folks are either recoil sensitive in the extreme, don't have the hand strength, have arthritis, or something that keeps them from weilding a battle weapon. I myself don't much care for the 50 AE, ya know?

My wife enjoys to the Sig P238 in 380 ACP. Slide is soooo easy to rack.

I like the suggestion for 32 H&R. That would be a nice light round in even an alloy framed revolver. Other than Charter Arms I don't know who makes one.
