Good advice. The guy at the shop may have had, or may not have had, extensive shooting experience. He may just be suggesting what he likes. Or, he may be suggesting what the store is actively pushing because of incentives (called SPIFFs). A day or two at the range renting different revolvers should school your girls in what they both need and like.

I have been the salesman at the LGS a couple of times in my life and I have seen too many husbands/boyfriends/fathers tell their wives/girlfriends/daughters what to buy only to find out the recipient of the gun doesn't like it. Gun prices are solid enough these days that, if you buy something one of them ends up not liking, you can recoup your funds and buy something else. Or just add it to your own collection.
