We got my mom a Walther PPKS and it was a bear to shoot. The trigger was heavy and the recoil was stout for such a little gun. We ended up getting her a Sig P230 which is the predecessor of the P232 and it was a much nicer gun to shoot. The ergonomics were far better and it was nice having the de-cocker. A buddy of mine also has the P232 and he is pretty happy with it.

I don't have much experience with the Bersas but I have fired a couple. I'd say they are similar to the PPKs but the finish is usually a little worse.
