8. My daughter made the same choice, snubby

After multiple trips to the range, test firing about 20 guns, some mine, others rentals, she chose an older Charter Arms Undercover 38 I had. She liked it better than a comparable S&W Airweight in 38+P. Go figure?

She had me take the larger Hogue rubber grips off and put the small wooden grips back on. Fits her hand better, Federal reduced recoil, low flash loads make it manageable for her.

Fit, comfort level and ability to hit her target consistently are all that matter in choosing.
