The other option which I think she should consider is the MK9.
The MK9 is exactly the same as a PM9, but it has a stainless frame instead of the plastic one. This makes the gun heavier (obviously) which must be taken into account as a carry gun, but it also must be taken into account with regards to recoil - i.e. there's less with an MK9 than with a PM9.
I've got an MK9, and the recoil isn't bad at all. I'd point her in that direction. 8)
