I carry my xd9sc in a High Noon Hidden Ally. I did drop the clip on it to make it more comfortable so that it would not jab me in my ribs. I'm short waisted, so it was a problem. Once I did that, it's been great!
On some jeans that are loose, I can still wear my firearm, but I feel like I look fat, because the gun pulls down and away.

I just make sure my jeans fit well, and I'm good. No belt, no worries!

You didn't mention what weapon your wife has chosen. If she is right-handed, one option to consider would be a NO LOCK Airweight .38 Special J-frame revolver with a Barami Hip Grip. (She may find the grip more comfortable with the addition of a Tyler T-Grip to fill the void behind the trigger guard.)

Here's a couple of links:

If you consider a paddle holster, take a good look at the Blackhawk Serpa. Even w/out a belt these things lock onto the pants and you nearly have to undress to get the holster off (takes a few practices). The upside of this is that you'll never have a pistol grip in your hand with a holster hanging off the other end (happened to me w/a lesser holster). Very positive and safe locking on the handgun w/easy finger button release. They ride reasonably high so it doesn't take much of a untucked shirt to cover it. Finally, they make these holsters to fit every barrel lenght of a model (3-5" barrel 1911's as an example). With care you can shorten the holster by an inch or so w/a Dremel and not effect the integrity of the holster. And if you're careful, it'll look like a good cut off job as well. The only drawback is that they're only made for a limited line of handguns. That said, my wife doesn't believe a handgun is worth owning if you can't match a Blackhawk with it.

Good luck
