The biggest problem I see with shooting magnums from a J frame is the grip. I put the Pacmayrs (sp) on and it becomes manageable. A larger wood 3 finger combat grip, not the 2 finger boot grip, also makes it a bit more manageable but the rubber grips are the best.

If her current defense round is the .22lr then a step up to .38spl or .38 +p should be a good move. The good thing with the magnum J frame is that if the .357 mag is too harsh there are many alternatives in the .38 spl loads.

I have a 3" Mod 60-15 and it handles magnums well with the rubber grips but is a bear trying to control with the 2 finger combat type grip.
