Add $100 to the price of a K9 and you can buy two of the CW9's.

I personally would go with the revolver idea. It's the easiest for a layman to learn to use. It can lie at rest loaded for long periods of time without weakening the springs. She wouldn't have to learn how to clear jams or work a safety. You can buy many grip sizes to fit her hand. I'd go with something in at least a four inch barrel because they're easier to learn to shoot well than a snubnose. If she can't hit what she's shooting at while training she won't have fun or believe she hit someone if self defense with it.
As far as caliber I'd go with either 357 magnum or 38 special. The 357 magnum would have a greater latitude of rounds available for it making it easier to find a round she shoots well. The benefit to a 38 special is that since most people have been brain washed into thinking that 38 special is too weak for them; 38 special chambered revolvers are cheaper to buy.

Before you buy a revolver please bring her to the store and make sure she can actually pull the trigger on one.
LCP?
Revolver, snubbie, in a .38. Can't be beat for women or anyone else for close in defense.
What can revolvers do that Auto's can't do better?
