I wa...NEED that.There's really three ways to go abut this common posit/querry..
1: you could get a tip up barrel Beretta .380 and a soul won't have to rack it.. until it needs racked..

2: and then there's the school of thought of having an 18 shot semi-auto that is already pre-racked (golly!) and is so reliable that chances are zero that it'll malfunction and need "racking" ever.
3: and then there's the revolver.. yea.. pretty simple and everything perhaps.. if you can open a mini jar a pickles perhaps and then you have to reload the thing in 5-6 shots. And then the trigger.. though it might be "pulled" by our/your compromised precious, those shots might not land so good.. never really know.
Either get an eighteen shot (code for large capacity) reliable gat or get a revolver and train her for a couple years how to count, reload and hit with the thing/revolver.. it's really a toss though.
Not many people (in this day and age) have felt a smithed/PPC'd Python but it's best when they actually go off/fire. I prefer them to fire though, every time. But with that said, and that really goes for all guns/revolvers, make sure that it'll set off the standard CCI primers and not just the federals.I own 2 Ruger LCR's, they have triggers that are almost as smooth as a Colt Python. They are lightweight and have better grips and ergonomics than any airweight J-frame or Taurus. I highly recommend the LCR for concealed carry and self defense.
With all respect, I think a Beretta 380 would be a terrible choice for a new shooter to rely on for self defense, especially if they intend to carry it concealed. Yes the tip-up barrel is convenient and easy for females and novices to use, but it is offset by the need to be aware of and properly use the safety and/or decocking lever which can be the difference between life and death in a self defense situation. The hammerless snub revolver is the ultimate in simplicity, safety and reliability with its only drawback being limited ammo capacity. I will gladly trade a 5 round limit for the ability to draw, hold and fire the weapon from inside a purse or coat pocket without ever exposing it, and for the ability to shove it into an assailants center-of-mass at contact distance and empty it without any concerns about it jamming up. In an elevator or crowded stairwell, a female with a hammerless sbubbie who is being choked out by a man twice her size can pump 5 hollowpoints into his gut as fast as she can pull the trigger and without ever removing the gun or her hand from her purse. The other advantage that a snub wheelgun holds for a novice female...especially one who is recoil sensitive... is the ability to load it with mild target loads for practice and then work her way up to full-powered loads for self defense as she becomes more proficient. Glasers are also an option for a wheelgun that I wouldn't want to try in a semi-auto due to the expense involved in testing them for reliable function. Safety, reliability, simplicity, ease of operation and proven effectiveness---the .38 snub offers it all.There's really three ways to go abut this common posit/querry..
