This is true. Small guns = harder to get a good grip = limp wristing = jam. I bought my wife a PK380, way easier to handle than an LCP. I even like to shoot that thing.Well I'm not bragging, but I've been shooting my whole life and I know how to shoot pistols. For a novice female? Eh, probably not.
My rule of thumb is the smaller the pistol, the more advanced shooter you need to be to use it well.
