Speaking as a female, and small hands….the G19 is not bad, but I discovered I like the P365 legion much better. But, truthfully, the best thing would be to take her to a place with rentals and see which fit her hands and comfort first. I made a few mistakes when starting out years ago, so I recommend that first. Best of luck!

I agree with all who say let her shoot several and pick what is best for her.

Of your choices, I'd go with a g19. I think the g19 or the 365xl/macro are the best options for a do all handgun.
And I agree with the others that say take her shooting to try out several options 1st.

I am so glad my ex-wife's parents did not give her a gun.

Both good options...20 years ago.

For a female? Unless she has enormous hands, there are tons of better options. Even if she does, there are tons of better options.

Well, the majority of my favorite firearms in my inventory were made over 20 years ago, so there is that.
Obviously YMMV...

Well, same. But I ended up getting my daughter a 356XL.

Give her the cash.
