You can have her pack whatever you wish for self defance, But when she first fires it I recommend the wad cutters.
I personally carry an old model 37 and keep the wadcutters in it at all times because I find that I can empty the cylinder very rapidly into a 4" circle at 45' really fast, Way faster than regular power 38 specials.
I know that some will say I am running too little power with the WC loads, But when I can keep all 5 on target just about as fast as I can pull the trigger I am confident that if needed, My shots will go where I want them,,,,
I have seen some woman turned off to the J frame from shooting higher power loads first time... So WCs is also what I use to introduce new shooters to the wonders of the J frame!!!

Great advice. In the real world only hits count. Miss five times , even with a 357 magnum, will get you killed.
I carry the same ammo for the same reason's.
