Man, you could have bought her the Taurus PT111 PRO, they come in pink. I antually have the PT111 (in black) and I love it. It is the gun I take with me while working. They are a small gun, easy to conceal, and the grips are long enough to get a good grip on them. I too am wanting to buy my wife a gun for home defence when I am away, and it will most likely be the Taurus 38 revolver with the crimson trace grips.
