I chose the Kel Tec as a benchmark because even though I have some .380's, I think that a 9mm should be the smallest caliber she should carry & the price is a big constraint (I can't even afford a Glock for myself).

This may get in the way of finding the perfect handgun for her. When I took my wife shopping for a handgun I let her handle all the guns she could and she eventually settled on a Sig P232. It felt the best in her hands and pointed very naturally for her. Of course it was also the most expensive gun she looked at.
I wouldn't rule out the little .380 ACP for her if I were you, it allows for a lot more options in smaller guns which some people like. My wife has small hands so a .380 was about as large as she wanted to go even though she could shoot my Ruger P-90 better than I did.
