Let her buy whatever she wants.....
Encourage her to shoot a couple of guns/ or as many as you can at a local range that rents guns .....
Some guns that my granddaughters and some of the new shooters in my family like....
1. Sig 239 in 9mm, single stack, light, easy to shoot, capacity is 8 + 1 in 9mm
2. a 1911 in 9mm ...something like a Kimber Tactical Pro II model, alloy frame, 4", nice gun and light again
3. a K frame S&W revolver ...in .357 mag but she can shoot .38's in it ...not the real light guns - but a model 19 or 66 in either a 2 1/2" barrel or better yet, in a 4"..../ put whatever grips on it she likes, that fit her hands the best - rubber, wood with finger grooves, standard wood target grips, etc...
double stack guns are usually too wide for smaller hands...
heavier and longer guns are kind of intimidating to new shooters..
keep the recoil down ( 9mm, or .38 spl or light .357 mag...) until she has 1,000 rounds or more thru the gun....
