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....

.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

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.

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