Not a glock guy but... find a glock that fits her hand. Or an M&P. Honestly most major manufacturers would work here, we're talking nighstand-drawer-neglect, not dragging it through the mud/sand/water/hot/cold.
If a semi-auto can rust in place in the drawer, the revolver innards will as well.
It's a lot easier to teach someone with low hand strength to rack a slide than pull a heavy DA trigger. I know, my wife fits that category. Once she learned the technique, she can rack any slide she's come across but she flat out can't pull a >12lb trigger with one finger in shooting posture.
10/10 I do NOT recommend the LCR for the previously-mentioned short stroking issue. If you release the trigger to the first click and pull again, it'll turn the cylinder but NOT FIRE. It does have a fairly good DA trigger though.
Obviously I'm voting against revolvers for never-shoot-it-nightstand-gun unless they can show the ability to shoot DA passably.
Glock vs revolver triggers: apples and oranges. Better for what? Better at what? Better in what way? Glock is a mushy single (and a half ish). revolvers have a crisp SA and long heavy DA. Different mechanisms different purposes. Yes, glock triggers are shorter and lighter than un-worked revolver DA. Yes, a quality revolver DA is smoother and surprisingly easy to shoot.
