IMHO, if you can swing it, I'd get 2 pistols. A Glock of your choice in 9mm and either a S&W 617 (.22 cal.) or Ruger Mark II/III (also .22 cal.). The S&W being considered safer as it is a revolver and either .22 cal. will be far cheaper to shoot. Your daughter will become adept far quicker with the rimfire and I expect you'll enjoy the .22 also. The less recoil and noise you can have for a beginning shooter, more attention they can pay to the instructions and primary techniques.
