A 38 special is a nice little revolver.
B Hard to beat. I've carried revolvers from .22 to .44, and most of the time I run a .38. It's nothing sexy, but it works, and I can shoot it one handed at confrontation distance if need be (God willing never).

"I was thinking of a .41 or .44 Magnum". I'm a little curious why would you think of those calibers for a woman's self defense weapon (or a man's for that matter)?

Something she can shoot nicely, and accurately .

I would recommend the revolver she likes best and shoots best. It is her life she is protecting, so the one she will carry all the time.
If it was me it would be a Ruger LCR.

I would recommend the 38 special, small gun with small pop. What ever she’s not afraid to shoot. She can’t be afraid to pull the trigger in time of need

I think she should shoot some 38 revolvers and a 9mm , she may think she wants a revolver but may like an auto.
take her to a range that rents buy a box of 38 and a box of 9 and try some different guns.

If its her first gun how does she know that she only wants a revolver?
Best to try a few different handguns and then decide.

I was reading a review in American Rifleman a while back , they had 7 female firearms trainers and 35 women review 14 guns , a lot of women when in thinking they likes revolvers and came out liking an auto I think they said only one women still wanted a revolver when they were done , and she was a professional trainer , not sure what made her like it.

32 H&R magnum is tough to beat in a J frame Smith.
I have nothing clever to put here.
