The barriers to entry on the revolver are quite a bit lower.
"Here - just grab this from the safe, point it in a general direction and keep pulling the trigger until it clicks. We're done here..."
Gonna get some 38 special wad-cutters to teach her on and frankly I'll probably just leave it loaded with those for home defense. Not as though that's not gonna stop someone if you hit 'em.

IF, your wife can't get comfortable with the revolver (some women/smaller people with smaller hands can't get used to the longish trigger pull), look at S&W EZ series. They lightened the recoil spring specifically for people with weak hands; my 84-year old mom with arthritis can work that slide properly. She just can't hit anything with a handgun, lol. And the grip is pretty small, so easier to reach all the controls and trigger press for thos with smaller hands.
