I'm looking for a .380 with extremely low recoil for my wife. I prefer CZ, but I've heard good things about Bersa too. Maybe a Walther PPK, but I'm not sure if it is as good as the other two.
You can pick up a used CZ-83 on Gunbroker for $159 plus shipping and transfer fees. I have dealt with this guy before and the guns have always been in better condition than advertised. For that price point you can refinish and still come out a winner.
