Looking for recommendations for a ccw for the wife. She recently decided she would like to start carrying. She is very much a gun newbie. She has been shooting with me a few times for fun but has never done any real training. I will for sure going to get her signed up for a class. Any suggestions for a good pistol would be greatly appreciated.

Looking for:
-Something of the subcompact variety
-Something in 9mm or .380. She has pretty small hands so a single stack mag would be best
-Something with an external safety, so no Glocks please
