This is a tricky one, for the size factor I would say a hammerless .38 but those jump like crazy with +p loads in them. For something she can handle I would say a 9mm, they are very manageable but just a little more bulky, but if she is going to carry in her purse, I would say a 9mm auto (glock, S&W, springfield)
