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).
She liked the S&W 626 when she was looking. She has a few semi autos, she is just concerned that if she has to use it she wont know what to do, ie.. .rack the slide, safety. Yes, I konw that is all training, but she asked for a revolver so I figured thats what I would get her. For all I know she will carry her sig instead of the revolver once she gets it.
