I've seen this too often.
One doesn't teach anyone to love shooting by making it awful.
As to the PK380 specifically, it does have a mild recoil and a very small grip. Both traits are nice to have for a woman who is new to shooting. However, I sold the example I had because accuracy was pretty terrible.
I don't believe one can work toward the form and practice of accuracy with a very inaccurate firearm. The shooter can't know whether being wide of the mark is a failure of form, or just the firearm.
