Recommended pistol for small person?

My wife is interested in shooting air pistol in local competition. She is a small person (100 lbs.) with small hands, and my Aeron B96 is way too big for her to handle. I am keeping an eye out for a used Tau 7 Junior, but wondering if there are other options? CO2 is preferred for convenience and to avoid the cost of scuba gear.

Thanks for your help.

Small chance on this one, but how about a Pardini P10? No gas (SSP) and light, with grips you can really hog out.

Thanks, Rover...looks like a good option, if one can be found.

P44 is quite light and has a small frame so can be fitted with a very small grip.

I have small hands (comparatively), and I've found that the Italian pistols seem to be more friendly to someone with small hands. My Pardini K58 fits my hand much better than my Walther CPM-1. The Morini 162 that I tried also fit my hand. The Styer LP10 that I tried seems to have a large grip like the Walther. The primary problem is the web to trigger face distance. It can only be brought in so much by grip modification before you hit the frame.

Steyr LP2 compact with XS grip. Weighs only about 800grams

My 11 year old daughter uses one no problem, she weighs only 34kgs (about 75 pounds).
