The Tomcat is sensitive to two things, limp wristing, and certain ammunitions for FTE problems. Great small carry piece otherwise (even if it is only a .32). Limp wrist is easy to control - just grip it like the subcompact Glocks (hand on frame but not the death grip, second hand up from below over your grip hand, apply the more pressure with the off hand), or use a different one hand grip a little higher anuse the thumb to apply pressur on the finger(s). Careful to get too high up - the slide will bite. I found CMC and Wolf to cause more FTEs - suggest Federal. Also suggest Speer or CorBon for defense ammo. The tip up barrel eliminates the need to rack - just load, point and pull trigger or cock it if wanted (DA/SA gun). She can cock it before racking if she wants. Although IMHO there is a potential safety issue if there just happened to be a round in the chamber, trigger cocked, and during some bit of clumsiness trying to get a grip on the slide, the trigger got pulled that micro inch that sets it off...
