A concealed weapon is a tool and nothing more. It needs to work for the user.
I am a strong believer in the concept of the DAO snubnose revolver but the selection of the tool is only a small part of the bigger issue.
The decision to use deadly force, including being prepared to use deadly force (the act of carrying a firearm for SD) is a far more important part of the total issue.
The OP's statement, "....For her I think rather than a man stopping caliber. I would rather suggest a smaller "get off of me round" " is disturbing in a legal sense. If you have crossed the threshold of using deadly force, your unequivocal goal is to stop the attack. The tool used is not important.
As a result of that application of force the attacker may die or the attacker may not die- the results matter not, as long as the attack stops.
Comparing phrases such as "man stopping" to "get off of me" ; hints at indecision about deadly force. I would highly recommend that the OP determine that his daughter is prepared to use deadly force before they proceed any farther.
Your goal is to stop the attack. You may be able to accomplish that with a .22 short or you may be able to accomplish that with a 12 ga. slug. but in either case the person might die or might not die.
