Give her the 9mm and upgrade to the 10mm. But only if you reload. 10mm ammo off the shelf is, for the most part, hard to find and underpowered. You can get fullhouse loads off the Net, but you'll pay a premium.

If you are looking for more power, a .41 Magnum won't punish you as much as a .44 or a .454 will. The .460 XVR or the .500 S&W are recoil junkies wetdreams. For a carry piece, Springfield XD in .45 ACP or a Sig P220. 1911's these days are too finiky about what they eat and how they are maintained.

9mm are labeled useless because the military and LE are limited to FMJ rounds. JHP and HP rounds in 9mm will tear a chunk out of anyone and do real damage to the human body.
