Has your wife shot the Glock 26 and can she shoot it well? Can she work the slide? If so that's a good gun for her. As for malfunctions, she should do what everyone should do - practice failure drills until they are automatic.

I would caution against her buying any gun without shooting it. Especially the snubbies. They are light and feel good in the hand, but when you shoot them it is a different story. The small revolvers have a bit of a bark and kick. They are hard to shoot accurately without a lot of practice. If the gun is painful to shoot, your wife won't practice.

My recommendation is to not give your wife your gun or buy her a gun. Let her choose it, buy it, clean it, shoot it, pratice. Let it be hers.
