.44 Magnum

My buddy bought his wife a Walther PPS 9mm. He bought himself a S-Blackhawk. Wife likes the SBH with mag loads over the PPS (trigger is painful).
So get her to the shop if your intention is for it to be her weapon. If you have a place that does rentals around that would be even better. Both of the pistols you mentioned are very mild recoil. Not to say your wife would have an issue with recoil, but they are much diferent than a mag revolver.
 
Lots of 44 mag ammo is loaded plenty light for anyone to shoot. Blazers are generally very soft shooting. George arms makes some 240g round points that fire at 1000fps which would be soft shooting as well. I started shooting 44 mag when I was 10 years old and some of my younger cousins were shooting at that time as well. Unless you are getting hot loaded hunting rounds the 44 mag is a pleasure to shoot.
 
Back when I bought my .44 Mag Ruger Redhawk with a 7.5 in barrel (why did I ever sell it), I also bought a box of Remington UMC .44 Mag ammo, and braced myself for the recoil, I nearly fell forward on the first shot, the ammo was pretty mild and the heavy gun soaked it up, I let my wife shoot it, she fired 6 rounds (actually better than I did) and said, "Hmmph neat" and walked back to the house.
