My wife's about the same size. We went to a large gun show, and she handled darn near every pistol in the GRB. Settled on a Baby Eagle compact steel frame in 9mm. She loves it to death. Disadvantage (to me) is the manual of arms (for her). She can't pull the DA trigger, so her procedure w it as a nightstand gun is:

thumb off the slide mounted safety
cock the exposed hammer
fire SA

It's definitely a sweet shooting gun, accurate, soft recoil. Stock sights are tiny, though we haven't pursued upgrading/replacing them.
