If she likes it and is accurate with it, go with the .40. A comparable sized 9mm will hold more rounds, less felt recoil, and is cheaper to shoot. If the goal is personal defense, and you two are equally efficient with both calibers, the .40 will be more effective.

I am not a fan of 9mm. The 40 is an extremely popular caliber and has good ballistics. My wife and I carry 45's. She bought a XD45 Compact since it has a grip safety. I carry Glocks.

As stated above if she likes it and she shoots is well then that would be the pistol to go with.

Buy a car and you can do the same thing. Based on that comment you should not own a firearm.
