As a FEMALE who is 4'11"............
The size of the pistol doesn't make a difference, and neither does the size of the person. I carry a 1911 concealed, and the guys at the range tell me I am pretty good with it.
If she has taken courses and goes to the range regularly, she will become more practiced with time. I didn't become an expert with my Beretta for a couple of years and some folks telling me how to improve my pistol work.
Go to Jim's, let her rent a few models and try them out. She should start with something she feels completely comfortable with (she should practice failure drills to see if she is going to be okay with that as well). The first time I tried to pull my slide back on my custom 1911, I couldn't, it was so tight. I knew that there was no way I was carrying that gun concealed.
SHE is going to be carrying the gun, let her decide what SHE wants.

Iraq was never lost and Afghanistan was never quite the easy good war. Those in the media too often pile on and follow the polls rather than offer independent analysis. Campaign rhetoric and politics are one thing - the responsibility of governance is quite another.
