Agree with everyone to let her pick what she likes, but I would have try the Ruger LCR, easy manual of arms, good trigger, good size, a wide range of caliber options. I really like the .327 version, can shoot .32 longs (very mild recoil), .32 H&R mag (more recoil and flash, but less than a .38 with good effectiveness) and up to .327 mag (a very goo sd round imho).
Let her decide, but the LCR should be offered.
