If CCW isn't an issue...
You might want to consider a GP100, instead.
You could always go with a GP100 with a 3" barrel and then get one of the older compact grips that used to be offered by Ruger. I bought some of these from Midway USA, for my GP100, about a year ago. The grips aren't actually called compact grips. I heard about them on one of the Ruger forums. I didn't realize that they could still be purchased.
Anyways, I haven't shot the gun with them because I haven't gotten around to buying the wood side panels for the grip. I wanted to get some balck laminate ones custom made. Anways, the 3" model would give her an extra shot and be a little heavier, if she struggles with the SP101 recoil. The grips are a little less than an inch shorter than the hogue grips. I bought them for my wife.
