I think she made some good choices in semi-autos.
The Ruger SR is about 2/3's the size of the Taurus. You can slip it in a purse with no problem, whereas the Taurus is maybe too much. But I'd rather have the Taurus for the truck and around the house. And the Ruger is a bit more expensive.
The Shield EZ in .380 is a great gun for seniors. Grip safety, slide safety, easy racking, good sites and low recoil for a centerfire round. There are some sixty-ish grain copper bullet stuff out on the market now, that lets the .380 really punch above its weight. Keep the mag loaded and out of the gun and it's easy to chamber with a simple rack, but harder for a kid to manipulate everything to fire...If he can get his hand on the gun, he has to insert the mag, chamber, take the safety off and depress the grip safety before it can fire.
