At present I am sitting here with my P-32 in pocket The 380 might be to much recoil for your wife. Conner likes her P-32 thats why we have 2 of them . The 380 I bought because of BT and trying to find a KT that didn't work So I could bad mouth it. . So I now have 3.
The KT's have one thing you must learn Its the trigger must be allowed to fully reset . Or when you fire 2nd round it will lite primer strike. Some people Say their gun is broke then you explain this to them all is well.
As for the 380 verses 32 I really want to meet they BG that will be able to tell you the difference from these short barreled pistols.
Their is the so called rim lock problem with these lite weight 32 pistols . Easy to fix. Get the rimlock kit from KT , Shoot only ball ammo. or load chamber with Corbon HP and top round in mag with Corbon then rest of mag ball. I have rim lock kit and I also have ball mag . I can carry all of the above.
Notice I said Corbon in 32 Why http://www.goldenloki.com/ammo/gel/32acp/gel32acp.htm
used a KT and Corbon HP was only one the expanded every single time It also had good FPS and FTLBS THE OTHERS HP'S DIDN'T .
If you can find a Beretta DA/SA in 25 their a nice 25 auto . But will be as much as a P-32 in price used and not much difference in size .
I have 3 Berettas in25 2 950 Jetfires one made in Italy still NIB . Made before 1980 Started makeing in America in 1980 and added the thumb safety (why I don't know lawyers maybe) I also have the Model 21 DA/SA . All three tip up barrel and no extractor. Some don't like that Iam not bothered by it .
I have a LNIB Excam I bought new last year. Dealer found in bottom of safe under other stuff . Was brand new I bought for 50 bucks fired 1 mag and put away
Over all I would get the KT .
