THIS!!! Above everything else. LET HER PICK IT... PERIOD.
You risk choosing a gun for her she won't like and will not carry. Let her try as many as she needs to and LET HER PICK. Your prejudice is already showing by your statement that it needs to be heaver than a .380.
My wife ultimately chose a .32 and I am very happy with her choice. She carries it and practices with it.
Don't set limits on her caliber options. If she can only shoot a .22 comfortably, then go with that because she may not carry anything else.
I can't say it often enough, LET HER CHOSE.
