You should really be letting your wife pick out her gun. I'm assuming no one knows better than her what's comfortable to her. She may need some guidance on proper fit and pros/cons of various calibers, brands, etc. Many men really do a disservice to their wives/girlfriends when they think they know more about what the woman needs than she does.

Revolvers tend to have a very long reach to the trigger. I wouldn't assume she'll be most comfortable with a revolver...let her look at semi-autos, too (as others have noted).
