Low penetration because we’re talking “house load” POA vs POI isn’t too important because max distance is 30ft but it will be checked. I’m looking mostly to duplicate factory loads that will actually be used.

Forget the 110gr bullets for what you are looking to do. I highly suggest you load a 148gr DEWC bullet at around 800fps and you are done. That bullet is already at full caliber expansion, it will not over penetrate and recoil should be mild with a powder like W231. I'm thinking a charge of only 3.5/3.6gr will get you there.
Good luck finding something your wife will shoot.
