Honest opinions needed

Best answer is to have her take a class where she can try out different guns.

Shield is probably still a good answer though.

My wife is the same, she refuses to even go shooting with me though. Not her thing, and that is fine. I'd rather her carry, but I don't want her carrying something she isn't confident with. So we stick to a nasty pepper spray on her keyring and purse.

The PX4's are interesting pistols. Mine was a soft shooter, but the dao trigger was nonsense. I want to try a sa/da version. The only failures I ever experienced were from limpwristing. It would ftf without a firm grip. Still, I thought it was a comfortable pistol that was extremely accurate. It was often the favorite of family and friends until they got ahold of the cz75. Still I could see the merits of a PX4 sub compact with a da/sa trigger. Beretta did an excellent job of rounding it out and the full size never snagged. The sub would probably make a great purse gun if she ever decides to start carrying.

I had one. I really wanted to like that gun. Felt great in the hand, and I liked the way it looked, but the SA trigger was horrible. Had a pull a mile long. First time I shot it (out in the woods), I had a ND. Fired the first round (DA), then went to fire a second round... Kept slowly pulling and pulling on the trigger and when it didn't fire I started to lower the pistol to see what was going on (I thought maybe the trigger hadn't reset) and BANG! Scared the crap outta me. Fortunately it was pointed in a safe direction but I got rid of it shortly afterward.

I may be pretty late to this party but I am 18 and shoot a lot and my female and male friends agree it’s a good shooter. It’s very small but big enough to absorb a lot of the 9mm. The safety is also a big plus for me carrying as a teenager. I think no pocket 9mm is gonna be much softer.
