Kel-Tecs have better triggers available. My P11 was "usable" before the lighter spring and trigger shoe - it's wonderful to shoot now.
Hi Guys, and Ladies, my wife and I are looking to buy a compact 9mm, for our grandaughter, I want something about the size of the LC9 or Keltech, maybe even the walther, but I did not really want to spend that kind of money, the problem is the ruger and keltech have absolutly horrible triggers, the walther has a nice trigger, but its $600, does anybody make one the general size and shape of the LC9 or Kelteck that have a halfway decent trigger, I also had a Taurus 709 it was ok, but not really what we wanted, and the DB-9 needs a little more work, and it really stings

I really like my Kahr CM9. Very compact and has a great trigger in my opinion. Got mine from Buds for $400 plus the transfer.
What about S&W Bodyguard or M&P9c?

Look at any pawn shop and you can find an inexpensive model of any one of those brands you listed.
You might take her to a range that rents guns. Let her have an input into the purchase. Guns are very individual. On a number of other threads people have advised against a husband deciding which gun a wife should carry. If your grand daughter doesn't like the feel of the weapon or the recoil she might not carry or practice as much.
I don't care what anyone says, Sccy CPX2. ~$240, safe, no FTF/FTE, and you could crap in the barrel and it'll still sling it down range. Buy two, you'll want one of your own.
I second taking her to the range that rents weapons first.
For those who fight for it, life has a flavor the protected will never know.
