MarlboroMan,
The Glock is small, concealable and easy to shoot. The Eagle is small and packs a punch. I've shot both, I preferred the Baby Eagle but then again, I have big hands, for your wife (who I assume has small hands), the Glock 26 is perfect.

Another Glock is also an option. Subcompact Glocks are chambered for .40, 9mm, .357, .380 and also .45. The summum remains the Glock 29, subcompact 10mm auto; very small, very effective and the 10mm has better balistics (more stable bullet trajectory) than the .45
29/26 same size, if you take a subcompact Glock and pick one of the heavier calibres, it packs quite a punch as well.
Depending on her size and strength, not to mention how panicked she may become during an altercation, the 9mm version would be better for control. All a heavy caliber does is increase the weight, reduce the number of rounds and increase the recoil at the price of stopping power, but personally, I put more weight into precision than power.
He said she was a practised shooter and the subcompacts don't hold that many rounds anyway, I also doubt the general accuracy of a subcompact for the lack of grip and weight, in any case you might want your hits to count. But waht you said is true, it's a matter of personal preferance I guess and ultimately it's up to the lady in question.

Are those still the most powerfull rounds? I would think by now they would have come out with something better ?>
Probably, but the question is whether those are allowed
However I do believe most recent innovations are on AP ammunition. There is only so much innovating one can do on expanding types of ammunition, they are banned from international warfare and we see a trend that body armor becomes more and more common.
