Looking for advice on the best 40 cal auto out there.

Hey guys looking for a little more protection around the house. I'm really not up to snuff with pistols. Right now I have a couple shotguns and a Keltec 380
I'm looking for something with high capacity, something that the wife can pick up and shoot with out it being to small for me. Something that doesn't have a ton of safety buttons or slides like the keltec.
Thanks for your time....

Still in shock you recommended a Glock

.40 and women do not get along 90% of the time unless your girl's from Alabama and wears overalls on date night

the OP will obviously not know the difference between a quality hand gun and a glock, he will probably never shoot it anyway. he might as well get the cheapest thing that will go bang without worry

Did you just recommend a 2x4? I am disappoint.

okay...... I do know quality arms. My budget is $700-$1200 new or lightly used. My reasoning for the 40 is it is the lightest caliber I want to go, that the wife could shoot someone with if she had to. She has a 38 of her own. The 380 I carry when I collect the rent, I wanted something inexpensive in case someone stole it.
I had a mini eagle a few yrs back and did not care for it. The only 2 models I have looked at was the
Smith & Wesson M&P40L Pro and a Springfield XDM 40SW.
Thanks again for your time guys.

You don't want a 40.
Get an m&p 9.

If your wife is going to shoot it as much as you and you are set on a .40 I'd take her on a little shopping trip tomorrow and find a pistol that agrees with both of you.

No this would be my gun that she could shoot if she had to...

Why don't you let her shoot one first? She'll probably pull the trigger once, set it down, and never touch it again.
