A .22lr carries less risk of over penetration

You might be surprised at how far a 22 LR will penetrate building material. I've seen one go through five 1" boards.
It wouldn't be my first choice, but I actually think they would work better than many would give them credit for. Having a gun, knowing how to use it and being comfortable with that gun is important. In this case, for now, it may not be a bad choice.
As your GF gets more experience with firearms she may decide to move up to something a little better one day. But having something now, is better than nothing, or something that she finds intimidating.
