Depends on the wife.
Bersa maybe a good pistol. Specific gun feature may or may not fit the user.
For instance, if the wife does not plan to shoot often, then it may be better to get a straight DAO pistol with less external controls than a DA/SA with safety/decocker. In this case, simpler is better.
Really need to know more about how the gun will be used to find the best fit for the user.
Keep in mind proper trigger reach and that SA/DA is almost always a compromise when it comes to trigger reach.

Also, 9mm is cheaper than 380.

I like the Kahr for CC. My GF likes it a lot - she has a used Kahr K9.
