It's MOST important that your wife choose her weapon. Otherwise, she simply won't carry it.
That said, I've introduced several women (wife, wife's friends, sisters in law) to handguns and let them all try a variety of semiautos and revolvers. Their unanimous preference: S&W k-frame 38 revolvers. No slide racking, no magazines to inadvertently drop by accidentally touching the release button.
That's my experience. As always, YMMV.
