If she is new to shooting larger caliber handguns, I'd recommend loading some lighter weight wad cutters at lower velocity to keep the recoil down for starters. I have seen several people get really turned OFF on pistol shooting by trying hunting magnums; especially women. These hot hunting loads DO have lots of recoil and it might not be FUN for some. If she likes it, she can always move up gradually to hotter loads. The big pistols can also instill some real bad habits in good pistol shooters (namely "jerk" and "flinch").

I had to back off on the 29 and Blackhawk as I was shooting 50 of each at a visit to the range. I think I was getting carpal tunnel or arthritis. Better now that I don't shoot so much. All my loads have always been within 1 gr of max.
