I need something small for the missus for carry (at her request). Small hands, weak grip/hand strength, 2 artificial thumb joints & arthritis. She's at the point where she's afraid she won't be able to run/operate her P238 & is very recoil sensitive..
She's thinking about a .22lr or .25ACP in something Beretta 21A sized- her mom has a model 20 in .25ACP that she thinks would be the bee's knees. She wants something she can easily carry all the time & doesn't like futzing with her NAA Mini.
What say ye? I'm leaning .25 over .22 for reliability purposes, but know nothing about these little things. I'm okay with .22 if there's a model out there that's reliable with them. Manual safety a must, for Condition 1 carry. What should I look at? One of the little Berettas? Colt 1908?
Missus wants to keep packin' & shootin' despite her health issues & I need to get a reliable pea shooter back in her hands.
