+1 My wife has a Keltec P3at, hates to shoot it, and developed a nasty flinch as a result. I bought a Taurus PT22 for her to re-learn with and I thinned the grips so that it is nearly as concealable at the P3. I don't want to get into the whole ".22 for self defense debate," but my reasoning is that a couple .22s in the chest would be better than a .380 in the ground at the bad guy's feet. First time we went shooting she had her flinch under control in about three mags full, and she really enjoys shooting it now. I also took my daughters to shooting with it and they took to it immediately. So, I'd get a .22 to learn and an LCP to carry when she's ready.
