It depends on what you want the final out come to be.  If your looking for something your wife can carry and be the primary user of for self defense etc.  I would get a hammerless revolver.  It wont jamb and will go bang or to the next cylinder every time the trigger is pulled.  A semi-auto is more user involved so to speak.  Now if you plan on running reload/mal function drills with her id get a glock.  They are bulky but they work.  Ive carried one for 9 years that I trust not only my life with but also the public's.  I also have two of my own because the reliability is there.  If you get a 9mm for your wife you can always feed it .380s for a little less pop.  If you do go glock though, don't fire straight lead through it, the barrels don't like non jacketed bullets.
