First of all, thanks to everyone who took the time to respond to my question. I appreciate it.
After very careful consideration, I've decided that a lightweight .32 or .38 revolver is what I will buy for my wife for the following reasons:
1. She will not practice much with the firearm so having a semi-automatic doesn't make sense, especially IF (and when) a jam takes place. Under pressure, she would not be able to clear the chamber. With a revolver, it's point and shoot. Simple.
2. Some of the Taurus and Smith & Wesson ultra-lights are pretty light weight. The Taurus Ultra-Lite Model 85 is only 17 ounces and the S&W are close.
3. A .38 should be more than ample to deter either two-legged or four-legged problems. Especially with hollow-point bullets...
Thanks again to all.
