What is your wife comfortable with? A handgun can be better in a tight area, but it might be harder to hit what you are aiming at. A larger weighted 12 guage with a wood stock will absorb most of the shock/recoil. My wife's 12 guage Browing has MUCH less kick than a 20 guage plastic stock my father-in-law bought. I like the Browing A-5, but it is all personal choice and keeping the weapon clean!!
A .357 will be a beefy handgun, you can load it with pellitized shot (it scatters everywhere) and use a .38 calibre. The heavy gun, coupled with the lighter load of a .38 will not kick as bad and your wife will be happier shooting it. I've shown many women the difference between a 9/40mm and a .38 shot from a .357. Only one chose the 40 and that was because her boyfriend wanted a semi-auto. She preferred the revolver. If it takes more than three shots, you are in more trouble than you know.
