The second mistake was my decision to get my new wife familiar with my Walther PPK/S in .380 ACP that I acquired somewhere around 1970.
I figured it was safe (thumb safety, loaded cylinder indicator, decocker, double action, etc). 8 round magazine of popgun with not a lot of recoil.
I was wrong. She could not reliably rack the slide and when she did manage to do that, she ALWAYS limp-wristed it.
Wound up getting her a S&W K-frame revolver in .357, which I kept loaded with .38.
She sort of was able to work that, but never got over putting too much finger on the trigger.
Gave up on both projects (the wife and the handgun for the wife) in 2006.
The good news is that I still have both handguns.
