I think the Ruger will server her well. So will the 200 grainers.

Also,.. I hate to stray to far from the original plan,... but if bears are a real issue, 10mm Glock. They are ugly, but they keep a lot of lead on tap and the 10 has the punch to handle all of her potential Ursine woes. It does have a thick"ish" grip. My wife and daughter didn't like the grip of my Glock until they had run out a few mags. And there's a Short frame version for those with smaller hands. 10mm, even full on hot loads, are easier to shoot than the 44 mag.

If it were my pride and joy out, I'd fell better knowing there was 15 shots ready to go riding on her hip and an extra mag to boot.
