You know what she loved though? My Gen 4 Glock 17. Yeah, it's double stack and sits a little fat in her hands, but she shoots it like a champ...... For HD, i'd recommend you let her try shooting it some time. I'm in the metroplex frequently, and would love to let her try it out anytime I'm here. Also, G17 is a pretty common gun, so I'm sure there are plenty of ranges around here that could rent you one..
This exact same thing happened to my wife, she was having trouble racking slides, we borrowed my bosses Glock 17 (gen. 3). She shot it like a pro, loved the handling, and that is what she wants.
