My wife is looking into getting her cc tomorrow and finding a revolver to carry. She has small hands and found a S&W hammer less .380 for ~$400 in stock at Cabellas in Huntsville. Key words in stock. I've looked at Buds and most are out of stock. What are the Aldeer recommendations? Should she consider a 9mm?
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

If she needs/likes a thin gun that she could easily handle.. look at the smith and Wesson 380 bodyguard.
The fool tells me his reasons; the wise man persuades me with my own.

My wife much prefers a S&W 357 loaded with 38's over a 380 or 9 mm compact. It's a heavier gun and has less slap at the shot. Something to consider, especially if you have a petite wife. Mine ain't petite but she still likes the larger framed (heavier) revolver.
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

Evert time I tried to buy a gun for my wife, she wanted something else. I'd take her gun shopping. My wife loves her Shield 9mm.
May the sound of hounds never die!

Certainly a revolver unless she is an experienced shooter. After that we say to hold a few and see which is most comfortable to her.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

Certainly a revolver unless she is an experienced shooter. After that we say to hold a few and see which is most comfortable to her. What? I know experienced shooters that can barley hit with a snub nosed revolver, had jams from jump crimps, and can’t get a second round off because they don’t let their finger all the way foward to reset. I like a JFrame 38 plus P but she needs to grab the attacker with the off hand and fire from point blank. It may sound stupid but for reliability, safety features, ease of use, and accuracy, a bersa thunder CC or regular 380 is easy for women. I know of one with over 17,000 rounds without a failure and it has never been cleaned, just sprayed down. Its a loaner for a CC class. The running joke class after class is “if someone points a Bersa Thunder at you, you are hit”. The dang gun should have Sig Sauer on it. Easy to take down too. If she can handle a Ruger LCP hammered with #13lb spring and Underwood 65gr Defender Plus P, that works.

Smith and Wesson Shield 380 EZ is a good option. The slide is very easy to rack. These are very nice guns. Size is large enough to be a shooter, has a grip squeeze and an external flip safety, smooth slide action and as mentioned very easy to chamber, magazine side assist to help loading, slide serrations for grip when chambering. Very smooth shooter, no muzzle flip and minimum recoil. I've fired a dozen or two doing sales demonstrations and they are accurate, pleasant to shoot, and as I stated, really nice guns.
