Do not worry about getting into magnum rounds. For paper and plinking there's no need. Noise and power for nothing.

The 317 has a 3" barrel (nice) Shorter barrels are harder to shoot. It has adjustable sights, too. Very nice. All you can do is let her evaluate the trigger and if it's too hard, get a trigger job. Common and nothing radical about that.
