Most people can't hit the broad side of a barn with a pistol first time they shoot. If she is willing to practice and train a pistol would work. But a shotgun will be quicker to learn to shoot accurately.

I don't know of any good $300 pistols. The SW shields are around $400 I believe. Spend $500 and you have many possibilities. But get her to practice.
