Wanted to get her a 9mm.

I don't want this to turn into a "which calibre is best" argument. Suffice it to say, she's getting a 9mm and I took her to the gun store to "try" out a bunch of models to see what was comfortable in her hand. Tried Glocks, Sigs, Beretta, and a non M&P Smith and Wesson before she tried a Springfield XD. She loved the grip. Said it was very comfortable in her hand.

Just found it interesting especially since I found the 45 XD so comfortable. She even liked the look of the XD. I was pleasantly surprised, since I love my XD. :D

Just a suggestion though, if shopping for your wife, let her find something she finds comfortable because tiny differences in the gun, make big differences in what feels good in her hands.
 
I would do exactly what you are doing. She has to like it and really has to pick it out herself with your "involvement" that includes being interested in what she is picking up. My wife always goes to the Glocks which is great but then again thats all she is drawn to so its really easy for me. Your next option would be to then go to the range and make sure that she is comfortable shooting/operating the firearm. Past that there isnt really anything you can do as she has to carry and shoot it :D
