Default Defense revolver. 32H&R vs 38spl vs 327FedMag ?

I have a lady friend who is looking for a home defense gun. She has small hands and may be recoil sensitive. (We will see when she tries some of my guns.)

For semi autos, I'm suggesting 9mm, and trying to steer her away from 380, but she likes the foolproofness of a revolver like a 38spl, since she is not a regular shooter, nor a gun nut like me.

How does the recoil of a 32H&R or 327Mag stack up against that of a common 38spl? I see very few guns available in these calibers, and they definitely aren't at the rental counter to try out.

Thanks
