So what is your wife, GF, Daughter carrying on her person?

My Daughter is wanting to carry on school campus (yeah baby) never thought I’d say that....school campus ....thanks Gov Deal for not being a puss.

Anyways she’s looking for something ultra concealable but easy to rack and not a pile of crap.
I got her a sig p238 and she hates that it’s too small.

I let her carry my shield 9 and she’s loves it, shoots it well but has a really hard time racking it.
I’ve got her a Galco hybrid IWB belt holster for the shield.
It conceals well but she really wants something she can rack easier.
She knows that more shooting time will make the action easier but she wants to buy her own pistol and does NOT want a revolver .
This is where I need your suggestions.
Are the ladies in your lives happy with a nice 9mm semi auto that is easy to rack with decent concealability?
Yeah my Daughter is very petite and does not have a lot of grip strength like us big burly guys do.
Sorry revolver lovers .....she is very opposed to revolvers.
I know....I tried but you can’t tell a woman anything.

Just want to get some ideas before I take her to the shop to try out different models.

Darn I traded off sooo many cool small pistols over the years that she could have chosen from had I kept them.....can’t keep them all.

My wife carrys a S&W snubby, but her back up is a Bersa .380. She loves it. It's not hard for her to rack back. But, I just bought that little .25 that was here on ODT for her last resort gun.
 
My wife has arthritis in her hands but still manages to rack the slide on my Sig P365 and XDS. The Sig is easier for her though. Because of her arthritis I have taught her to gripe the slide as firmly as she can and push the pistols lower forward. With a little practice she has gotten quite good at it and it’s easier for her than trying to hold the lower and pull back the slide.
