If you're set on a .38, take a look at the Ruger LCR. It's lighter than the Bodyguard, has a better grip, an has one of the best DAO triggers out there.

Since he's wanting it for home defense (not concealed carry), I'd think a heavier pistol would be better for less perceived recoil.

I wouldn't want the GF to develop a fear from the snappier recoil of a lighter weight weapon. Just my opinion.

This is where the better grips come in. The Hogue Tamer grips on the LCR really reduce the recoil of the weapon. A lighter LCR still has less perceived recoil than a J Frame or Bodyguard.
