Best .380 for a petite female?

[Armor90]

I'm buying my sister a. 380 ACP for Christmas. She's on the smaller side. I'm thinking about a P238 for her. Any other recommendations? Thanks. - Ryan

A P238 would probably be a good choice.

Thanks, I do like that one for her. She's got small hands. I have to decide soon. Probably just going with that.

Take her to a range and rent some guns, try the 380 ez shield. Little sig might be a challenge for her.

A p238 is a good choice, my wife also has one and uses a sw bodyguard as well. The trigger on the bodyguard isn't as bad as people make it out to be.

Has she shot much? Is she comfortable carrying cocked and locked? New shooters generally have a fear of the hammer being back. It would help to know her experience level with other guns for a recommendation.

This is exactly the right idea! Be a real sport and pick up the range fees and ammo costs as part of the Christmas gift also!

The OP never even hinted as to the purpose of said "frail girl gun", so anything suggested is just swinging wildly at an answer.

Need more info.
Carry gun? House gun? Plinking gun?

You could bring your sister to the gun shop and have her make a choice...

Shield EZ seems to be a good fit for many. If manipulating a slide is an issue, could also go J frame.

I just noticed I accidentally posted this in the ammunition section of the site. :/
