I would recommend that you look for a range in your area that has a women's pistol / self defense club or competitive pistol club (Check with NRA). Also, many ranges allow for rental or trial if you pay for ammo when contemplating a purchase. I mention both, because it is another social group that may aid in training more often, most females that belong to clubs are permitted and carry regularly, so they can provide your wife a womens view (purses, pack, fanny pack, clothing) They will most likely be willing to share their pistols at the range if you provide (or at least offer) some ammo, getting her more experience will make her choice become evident. Cost, while always an issue, should not be the limiting factor for a daily carry (in my opinion), save another month or two if you must and get what you like and functions well. Just my thoughts for what they are worth. Stay safe and train. Best of luck!
