My LCR has a better DA trigger than any of my other 38 snubs (except possibly my 60-year-old 2" Model 10). It's also DAO, which I very much prefer for a carry piece. It's very light, though, so recoil is magnified.
I have a bunch of 32 revolvers. 32 S&W long feels about like a 22lr to me. My daughter started shooting them when she was eight. 32 H&R magnum doesn't feel a lot different. 327 magnum makes more noise, but my friend and I put a box of 327's through my SP101 a while back and didn't find the recoil to be impressive at all. (He is a big baby about shooting my 44 and 45 snubs, to put things into perspective.)
32acp is safe in 32 H&R or 327 revolvers. However, it won't work with some of them. Some will shoot it fine, some will have have trouble with it (some rounds go off and some don't), some won't shoot it at all. I brought six 32 revolvers to the range one day with some 32acp ammo, and two of them fell into each category.
I'm looking forward to seeing what the nice lady ends up with.
