My wife carries a stainless 642 with CT grips.
The crimson trace is a larger grip than the stock grip giving a more secure hold.
Let's face it females aren't going to dress around a firearm...that's just the way it is. Mine has instead invested in cc purses...one or two a year.
She loves the little gun the trigger is DAO trigger is actually pretty good. She sure can shoot it with the laser on...
