You know, if she is not going to be carrying this gun, I'd give the S&W 686+ some serious consideration. 7 rounds are better than 5, and a little extra weight will help with recoil. Not that 38's have much to begin with though. With the right grip, a K frame may be a good option.
I just want to share. The story I mentioned above, about the cylinder falling off my buddy"s Judge was on the second Judge he owned. The first one had such a bad timing issue that one of the chambers wouldn't fire at all. Another friend had a 6" Taurus .357. His timing was off so bad that the gun was close to binding up. 4 chambers had super loose lock up, and 2 of them there was almost no cylinder gap at all.
Two different people, three different bad Taurus revolvers. All of them have been resold. I have heard that there semi-autos are much better quality, but after my own first hand experience (3 x over), and all the bad stories I've read about Taurus customer service makes that a "Never Buy" company for me.
Thesae are guns that I handled, and shot first hand. This is not a "friend of a friend's cousin told me" story. If you really want a .45/.410 revolver, spend tha money and get a S&W Govenor. JMO
