I have a CZ-82.

A couple of years ago the daughter of a friend of one of my high school classmates got her carry permit and bought a small-ish .380 to carry. Don't remember which one, might have been a Bersa. Anyhoo -- the young lady has some neurological issues that seem to have resulted from exposure to chemical compounds when she was in Operation Desert Storm as a medic. Whichever little .380 she had, it hurt her hands to shoot it.

I let her try my CZ-82 and, despite being a marginally more powerful round (not light years more, but more), she found it very comfortable to shoot.

But ... it is an all-steel pistol. Even in a purse, your wife isn't going to forget that she's carrying it.
