The issue with "what gun for my wife/mom/grandma..." is Glock guys are gonna say get a Glock, 1911 fans will tell you there is nothing better than John Moses Browning's finest creation and there's always the old guy in the back yapping away about "wheelguns".
It dosen't really matter what you, I or anyone else thinks she would/could shoot best.
What matters most is the handgun she shoots best.
If you have a public range in your area where you can rent several handguns for her to try, take here there and have her shoot several then get her the one she finds easiest to shoot.
As for the double action revolver, she should at least try one. Its "point and click" like most striker fired automatic pistols, with a set of Crimson trace grips she'd be all set.
Not to start a caliber war but a .38 would be much better.
