She needs to hold a weapon and find the one that fits her hand, then shoot that weapon to see if she likes it. LOTS of good choices in 9MM.
IMHO, the DA revolver is the safest handgun ever conceived, especially for people who don't spend a great deal of time with them. There's no safety to disengage when the BG appears or to re-engage once he's on the floor and harmless. There's no decocker to remember to use after an incident. Just point, click, put back in the purse until it's needed again.
And of course, scratch Glock for the usual obvious reasons. From your list, anything but Glock -
The woman needs to pick her gun. Go to H&H or Heartland and rent several, then pick the one that fits her best. A lot of guys have good intentions but check out www.cornered cat.com and read a couple of articles. It's a mistake to pick one for her. Been there, done that.
