I don't think the Ruger P-series is a good choice. The double stack mag makes the grip a little fat and will make it hard to handle for someone with petite hands. I think a single stack 9mm like the Kel-tec PF9 would be a good choice, (I have a friend that has one and can arrange to meet you two at a range if you are in the Houston area). The bersa .380 would also be good.

Whatever she decides on, she has to be comfortable shooting it and willing to practice.

Edit to add: For reference, I have a P95 with close to 4000 rounds through it without a single failure. The problem she is having is due to either poor grip or limp-wristing.
