If she is good with the 38, get another. More likely to have the smaller gun close by than the shotty.

For most people a shot gun. Use bird shot. Slugs and buck shot will go through walls and injure or kill someone you are not shooting at. In an average room the shot pattern will be only 4 to 6 inches wide so you need to be aiming at what you are shooting at. Shotgun patterns do not spread as wide as most people think at close quarters.
