Sounds like you guys need to step up and volunteer to let them use your hand exercising machine.

I'd say try her on an LCR or an airweight.

Don't think an airweight will improve things, but the LCR has a lighter trigger than most every other DA revolver - or so I read. Worth a try.

she is quite small and cannot cock automatics other than 22's

Dubs, Get her a racket ball, and have her start working her fingers with it, once she can compress the ball almost everytime, then give her a tennis ball. Once she can compress it 1/4 to 1/2 she'll have more than enough finger/forearm strength to operate the trigger. Also while she's doing this have her practice dry firing. This method works. Its not the fingers that are at issue but the muscles in the forearm that control the fingers. Its not a long process either, usually no more than a couple of weeks. Plus it will also help in her ability to control recoil.

And it will improve accuracy once she is shooting the gun if she is not having to strain to pull the trigger.

You can substitute racket balls for my suggestion I guess
