If you can, stick with CCI ammo
I talked to a young mom who got her carry permit and had an SP101 in 22. She was complaing that she was getting misfires. I immediately asked if she was using Remington ammo and she was. I don't think it is generally quite as bad in revolvers but in semi autos the cheap bulk stuff turns my Bersa into a single shot and sometimes is an issue with my 1022. You can even tell a difference in the sound of a shot. You might push her toward a 22 magnum revolver. I don't think there is as much a reliability issue with the magnum. Ruger makes the LCR and Taurus makes a decent one as well.
