The simple answer. Especially because you are taking her to a range to try some. The one she likes!

Best. Answer. Ever.
Let me elaborate....
I am an NRA Pistol Instructor, and I also instruct officers in my Department concerning pistol and patrol carbine shooting.
I have trained both men and women for a long, long time.
That being said, I have NEVER seen a woman/female shooter regret her choice, if SHE is allowed to pick out the handgun that she wants--and gets enough range time to practice well.
Example: I purchased my wife a Ruger LC9 for a "sick in your pocket when you're on our property" pistol. She understands the need for being prepared--but she does not like the pistol too much. It barks, bucks and snorts. My wife is 5'2" and about 120.
On the other hand, she will--and has--done quick mag dumps from my Glock 22 into a B27 at 7 yards. Everything stayed within the 9 ring.
She does not like my shotguns--they're too long for her.
She does, however, feel quite comfortable sitting at the bench and burning ammo through my folding stock MAK-90.
Once again--LET HER PICK IT OUT!!!
Best of luck--and post some targets, too!
