Show her how to thumb cock it. Some girls hands are not as strong as a man's. Some revolvers (Ruger) have heavy DA trigger pulls. That is the problem you have to deal with. Maybe consider a J or K frame S&W with some trigger work. I am not bashing Rugers (I own several) but their trigger pulls just do not compare to a S&W. Dryfiring will smooth the pull a little but the springs are not going to become any lighter. Trigger work and lighter springs are perfectly reliable if done right. Avoid CCI primers and ammunition.
