If she is nervous about recoil do NOT get her the Taurus TCP. I have one and love it as a pocket carry, but it has significant muzzle flip. I can almost gaurantee you that she will not enjoy it.

If you are thinking about a .22 I just bought a S&W 22A that I love, and it was only $250. My wife shot it and was surprised by how little recoil there really is. But, the downside with the 22A is that the grip is really big. I imagine most women would find it too big for their hands.

I would suggest taking a look at the Walther P22. It seems to be quite a bit smaller but still good sized.
