My wife wants one mainly to take when she goes hiking and is out in the sticks quite a bit. Seems smaller is best here?

This is what I got my MIL. Its been good. Honestly probably would have gotten a P365 but had a great deal on the shield.

I suggest the Sig P365.

Samsonite

My wife likes hers but likes P938 better, get a loader since the mag is stiff.

Here's why: Cheaper than other options, easy to shoot, great sights, the spring

What about a 380?

This. Softer shooting, but still gets the job done. And you can actually find

My wife has a 1911. No sissy guns for her.

You know I’ve asked questions on CB about firearm purchases

^This is true. But use the list you’re getting as the means of finding the few guns you will try out.

This is good advice and what I did with my wife. We went to a range/gun store

This is good advice and I'll just piggyback with one additional point.

I dunno, when I was looking into a hiking gun, a full size revolver seemed the best choice

cruiserhead

1/17/21 3:04pm

Yeah, it's tough. My oldest is getting into history, so I went with a full size 1911 ww1 issue replica

Bert609

1/17/21 4:39pm

Depends I suppose. Is she worried about 2-legged or 4-legged dangers?

Homercles

1/17/21 12:53pm

H&K USP Compact 9mm. I wanted a 45 but she wasn't able to load the magazine

Might also want to consider the Glock 42 (.380). Very nice pistol. Our daughter just got one. Some people don't like
