IMO this is a mistake, a “J” frame is an experts gun if you shoot one well.
Since concealment is apparently not at issue, I’d recommend a K frame, 6 shot S&W or similar.
The K frames (m10//15/19/66) have excellent double action triggers as a rule, are much easier to shoot than a J frame and obviously hold an additional rd.
With one exception, all of the women I’ve coached have preferred an old, 2” K frame (m10) that I’d done double action work to, over all the handguns I’d brought for them to try.
