Why not step back down to a .22LR till she gets used to the report? This strikes me as a training issue, not a mechanical one.

You will likely need a longer barrel on a M-9 to have enough threads to be able to align a suppressor properly.

There will be a significant amount of blow-by with a .451+ suppressor bore and a .355 bullet passing through it.

Do you plan on keeping the can on it when she is carrying it or using it for home defense?

Suppressors are not like the movies. Do not count on the small amount of noise they portray, especially with a supersonic round like the 9x19 passing through an overbored suppressor. I would want to try one in that configuration before I plunked down close to a grand for the can.

I like the idea of having a suppressor. I am not sure that it is going to be the answer you are looking for.
