Some women, including both my wife and my mother, don’t have the hand or finger strength for repeated firing of DA revolvers. Or just don’t like them/feel unsafe with the amount of effort they need to use to manipulate the controls. So even though in theory they make the perfect reliable firearm for someone who wants to own a gun or to carry but isn’t necessarily a recreational shooter or firearms enthusiast, in practice it ain’t always so.
People (men or women) like what they like. My wife found a Sig 238 to her liking (and just about nothing else) in terms of hand feel, ergos, trigger reach, recoil, etc.
Another girl I work with fell in love with the purple LCP (because it was cute and small and purple.)
While neither of these guns is exactly “the best” in terms of desired features on a spec sheet, they are both a darn sight better than a sharp stick for self defense and would probably do the job just fine on a dark night if necessary. And what’s more, because they are liked by the gals who own them, they are much more likely to be carried or practiced with.
