I like the feel of my 239-9. However, I have noticed that the muzzle flip is a bit more than my husband's XDM9. As I assume a .40 will have even more, that might be an issue. I would rent both the .40 and 9mm for her to try - don't just go by the fit.

Of course, I've not shot anything besides 9mm (will have to rectify that soon), so I may be off base in my assumption.
