I was looking at a taurus in 32 for my wife.

Then I came across a S&W Sigma 9mm cheap. I decided to buy it and if the wife didn't like it I would trade or keep for myself.

My wife really liked it. The trigger is quite heavy. But my wife said that it made her more confident that she wouldn't have an accidental discharge. Go figure. She says the recoil isn't a problem.
