I wasn't ranting on you, I guess I just got cranky after reading my 512th "What gun should I get for my wife/girlfriend" thread.
If she likes the SxS, and will practice with it (<------IMPORTANT PART), then by all means have her use it. If later on she decides she likes something else and is willing to BA/UU/R with it, then buy it for her. (Hint: A novel method of filling the gun safe. :cool )
The only thing that matters in a defense situation is what she is comfortable (read: has practiced) with and will use, even if it is just a .22. I have yet to meet anyone who is willing to get shot with "just" a .22.
With that list of hardware, it sounds like it's time for a fun trip to the range with a huge pile of ammo. She just needs to work on the software by BA/UU/R. Although, as a gentleman, you should cover the BA part.
