There's a certain irony to this question--because the thread itself is in many ways a variation of this problem.
I believe you should be flattered that a customer wants to input his/her opinion. It gives you an opportunity to show why you are the expert (next thread: "don't you hate it when the gun salesman claims to be an expert and gives idiot advice" LOL). We all love firearms and we all love sharing our enthusiasm--if biased opinions were not allowed than just about every firearms forum including this one would vanish instantly. ; )
I have in fact heard military and law enforcement mention "walking the string" as a technique to use but I would assume that would be more of a advanced technique suitable to combat--but I don't personally know or train for it--I have trouble enough just effectively sighting and steadying for a single good shot.
I would think the the most important aspect to the new weapon isn't the caliber chosen so much as how well the new lady shooter is introduced--just go to Youtube and see all the videos of boyfriends/hubbies who take glee at their SO's scaring the stuffing out of themselves by firing a weapon without being really prepared for it. I know a petite blond who showed up at my place with a SS colt 45 1911 as her CCW weapon of choice--I sure wasn't going to argue her choice. LOL
