IMO, the PPK is an unpleasant shooting gun that beats up the shooters hand. As a result, casual shooters don't want to practice - and I don't blame them.
Try to find a range that rents guns. Let your wife rent some different guns and she'll tell you what she wants. If she likes it, she will be far more likely to practice with it.
Just my $.02
