A "k" frame (or similar size) revolver is the solution. They are simple, virtually maintenance free and easy to use. The trigger pull will be a non-issue for most and if she has a problem with it, pm me and I can show you a couple of techniques she can use. Recommending a .22 as a personal defense gun is pure folly. Recommending an auto to an unskilled shooter is also not wise. It sounds like she needs a gun that she can keep handy for protection but may rarely if ever shoot recreationally. The S&W Mod. 13 in 3" is a good choice, though any "K" frame in 3" or 4" will suffice. If and when she practices, she can shoot .38spl but load either .38spl +p, or .357mag for defense. You are talking about a decision that could potentially effect someone's life. Try to put your bias aside and approach the problem logically and objectively.
