The 327 SP101 is my carry gun. I do not / would not feel undergunned with it. 32 H&R loads or the "Low Recoil" 85-grain Federal load are not harsh in the rather beefy SP101. You also gain another round over a J-frame 38/357, SP101 in same caliber or LCR which all have only 5 shots.
Another thought is the GP100 in 327. It has 7 shots and is a little bigger but soaks up recoil better than an SP101.
I have to second whoever said an old model 10 in 38SPL would maybe be the best option. I have one and it is my house gun along with a 12 Gauge Pump. They are available from Bud's currently for $269 - a great deal.
I am a fan of 32's so go for it if she likes it.
If you reload, the .32's really shine for economy reloading. :wink:
