Help finding a 9mm micro pistol

[09hemi]

I could suggest the 2nd generate Sig P250 subcompact but it doesnt have a thumb safety but with training i dont feel its necessary

Springfield EMP 9 or a Kimber solo

I got to hold the EMP 9 at Indy Gun Safety in Fishers. I REALLy liked it but no way Ms Wabbit will go for that. And any Kimber? Fugetaboutit.

Kahr and KelTec are my range right now.

I like the LC9 for that, but the trigger pull is pretty long and heavy, so to be accurate at longer ranges you have to teach yourself to stage it. But for close range( 15 ft and under) it's no problem. Recoil is not too bad at all, but with the nature of a small, light pistol it has a lot more recoil that a service size pistol. For a 100lb female, i would think it'd be manageable.

My wife loves her EMP (that's how I got my Kimber Gold Combat back). You can read my thoughts about it in this thread. Like barrelmaker said, I would strongly discourage purse carry unless you have a dedicated compartment with holster. Nobody would do anything else, ... would they?

Here's a pic of my wife's customized gun:

Thanks everyone! I will try to talk her into revolvers again otherwise, lc9 will be the choice.

My Wife carries a xd subcompact --- it "feels" a touch smaller than the glock 26 to her -- the slide locks open and she had a little trouble getting use to the pull of the slide with dual springs but once she learned how to grip the slide she does very well with it and really likes shooting it.

Kahr, ruger, keltec,

Sig 224? Relies on the between the ears safety, but otherwise meets your criteria.

Kahr or Ruger. I carry a Kahr P9 and love it.

I own a ruger LC9, and it has very manageable recoil. The ones I have looked at generally come with a 7 round magazine, friendly to the 115g JHP or FMJ round. I was able to purchase this firearm new for $349.99.
