I have an LCR 327 and it's my most frequently carried gun.
I like the fact it's a 6 shooter. I have been carrying 327 Federal Hydra shok in it. That's a fairly low recoil round a little above 38 Special +P.
An LCR 327 might be a good choice for your girlfriend -- at least it's worth showing her one at a gun shop. And finding one to test fire at a range -- although that might be hard to find.
The trigger is a little easier that a typical J frame.
And you can load it with 32 S&W Long or 32 H&R Magnum and have a low recoil load.
Then as she gets more confidence, she can move up to the various 327 Federal SD loads -- or just stick with 32 Mag.
I think Ruger is doing well with 327 Federal and don't think there will be a problem with ammo companies abandoning the round any time soon.
