One for the wife...

Kelteck p32, is what I recommend for women. With a great many exceptions :) Most women are intimidated by guns, and the small size, and easy of use makes the gun less difficult for your average woman to handle.
That being said, my wife prefers my 44 Mag... So.. you should probably tell us a bit more about your wife.
Be safe :)
 
That's a tough one unless we know some background on your wife. Has she fired pistols before? If so, what calibers? Did she ever have formal training?
If she's a complete newbie, I highly recommend you get her started on .22's
Once she feels confident and the fear factor is gone, bump her up to a higher caliber and I don't mean a .454 either. If you have friends, see if any have a Kel-Tec P32 or a .38 Special revolver.
I've been going to the range with a bunch of lawyers, all men. Yet, I still started them on .22's and worked em up to a 9mm slowly. In another couple of weeks, if they're ready, I introduce them to my .357 sig and .45's for defensive pistols. Good luck to you and your wife. Rarely is there a wrong pistol purchase. The only wrong pistol purchase is one that is too large and you end up leaving it at home instead of inside your holster.
