Need h3lp ! small hands and not very strong wrists 
what's a good pistol 4 grandma y'all recommend? make/model/caliber 
wut u gots for me?

You talk of an  "old lady", a  "grandma"   . . .  

Now, I don't know how old I ought to assume she is.

BUT  . . .  

.  .  .  being a grandma I'd think the radius of her movement to be very limited and the hours she hangs around outside of her home also.
And, likely,  her eyesight ain't what it used to be either.

Can't picture her going out in the late afternoon and hang around in bars until late at night !

Barring an intruder I'd guess the chances of her crossing a criminal *** to be next to zero.

But  . . .  just in case  . . .  I'd advise a nice taser !
Light in weight and sure to stop anyone in his tracks !
And she wouldn't need to have an accurate aim either  . . .  just point it at the guy's body and fire away !

Eventually holding it vertically, to have more body area at her disposal.

Jinn, 
Good points made.
Maybe Grandma needs a shotgun for home defense?

The first shot fired would dislodge her shoulder for sure !

It's funny that I read this when my gf was screaming at me. 

She got drunk. She broke a glass on the ground. 

She told me hey you **** up sometimes. I said..."when"?

She had no answer. It just got her more angry. 

**** women dude.

Make sure you drink your milk, young man.
Gotta keep them bones strong and healthy.

...and thick.

Or you could stop pissing her off so much.

M & P 380 EZ.

Granny needs a revolver and a speed loader.

 

 

You really don't need a speed loader for that because of the EZ technology.  But Amazon has one.

No, it is a semi automatic.

I would try out a Ruger LCRx 38 Special.  Can also fire the more powerful +P rounds, but not as much power or kick as a 357.  Relatively light weight. Easy to carry. Very reliable.  Just need to make sure she can operate it as a "double action" - pull trigger without hammer already cocked back to fire.


 
 
Here is what I know about women with weak wrists...

• Their grip strength is also weak and they have difficulty operating the slide on most automatics.
• They have difficulty loading magazines on most automatics
• They typically won't carry an automatic with a round in the chamber, which essentially renders the gun useless
• Too many mechanical things to work on an Automatic
• Too easy for a novice to accidentally pull the trigger on a glock-style gun.

You shoot a **** grizzly bear in the neck 5 times it will go the **** away.

Now, I was going to let some of this **** go by the wayside, but THIS is just freaking stupid. As if YOU will ever get the chance to fire 5 shots before being attacked by a bear!  You doubtfully will even get off 1 shot, and that shot (if you could squeeze the trigger before you realize you are being charged by a bear) would likely be a miss if the bear is charging.

Skip the speed loader.  But, your revolver advice is good advice.

I haven't tried one.  While I have tried the Glock 43x it wasn't that bad but I did not think it was easier than the EZ weapons.

I'm with FOS in that everything she would need to do or be able to do would happen in the first few rounds.
Speed loader or 15 round magazine is for range practice.

Some people think a Glock is the solution to everything.  I had to try and help my wife find a handgun she could use.  Just for kicks, I handed her a Glock 17 - she had a hard time racking the slide.  I tried her on a Walther PPK - even more difficult to rack the slide, S&W 659 - nope; CZ 75B - nope, Browning Hi-Power - nope, 2 different 1911's - nope.  And, my wife is neither weak nor old.  She is actually quite athletic.

I finally handed her a Boberg XR9s - fit her hand perfectly, she loved the trigger and could even manipulate the slide.  I told her "sorry - you aren't getting my Boberg, unless I can find another one".   (That was really selfish of me, I know  

So, I tried her out on several revolvers:  S&W J-frame 38 - trigger was too stout; Original Dan Wesson 357 - she loved the trigger and liked the fell of the gun, but it was a bit heavy.  I didn't even let her know I had a couple of Colt Pythons (man, I'm a dick).

I really went through a bunch of other handguns with her until I remembered that I have a Kahr K9.  I handed her the K9 (DAO), and she loved the trigger.  Liked the weight.  Could manipulate the slide and she was comfortable with one in the chamber given the double action only trigger.  Perfect - that's her gun now.
