Any recommendations?  Thinking Beretta or Glock.  

I think you should buy what you actually shoot best with.  I was determined to get a Glock the last time I bought a semi-automatic pistol.   But when I went and shot a bunch with friends, I found I liked the grip of the Springfield XDM better than the Glock and I shot better with it.  So I got that instead.   For some reason they sometimes run a couple dollars more than Glocks but whatever.  

Some ranges have guns you can use or ask friends to go shoot with you that have the type guns you are interested in......then buy what you shoot best with is my advice.    My brother in law gave me tons of poo for not getting the Glock because apparently their is a YUGE fanboy club or something.  I'd rather like what I shoot than be part of a fanboy club.

Yea, my wife is afraid shitless of guns so I want to taker her to range to teach her all about it.  I also hate going to shooting range and use their garbage.  Shooting range guns usually so terrible it feel like the gun will break after every clip lol

my wife didn't like when I first brought guns into the house either.  She got over it.  She still won't shoot though. 

what caliber you looking at?  do you have any handguns already?

Try Blackstone, they're a newer range/shop and seem to be pretty nice. I'm betting they'd have a nice selection of rental pistols. I agree with CRA. I actually like my Glock, and chose it over a Sig, which is what I originally wanted before I shot one. Buy what feels good in your hand and feels natural when you look down the barrel.

I think 9m is enough.  I got AR15 and Mossberg 590 but no handguns.

Seriously, if you want my input it's helpful to know what your plans with it are. Self defense in the home, concealed carry, target shooting, action leagues, etc.?

Just target shooting and maybe Home defense.  Wife straight up refusing to hold a shutgun lol

I guess I will swing by shooting range and ask to hold some guns.  I like my friend glock a lot.

For home defense, a shotgun is the way to go. Does your shotgun look tactical? If so maybe that makes her nervous, maybe not. I'd try letting her shoot a long shotgun in maybe 20 gauge. Way less kick and while the shells are more expensive, if you're mainly using it for self defense, shell costs won't really be a factor. The simple sound of a shotgun slide can be a deterrent to criminals, and the ability to hit a large area with minimal aiming makes it a little less difficult to hit your target under duress. Also, shotgun pellets don't tend to go through multiple walls, possibly killing your kids or your neighbor. 

My sister shoots a 20 gauge and loves it. She's 5'8" and 110 lbs. Just something to think about.

      And really, it should be 4 reasons with the last one being that there were ZERO other offensive weapons on that team in 2024, opposing defenses only had to worry about one player all year long and they constantly double and triple teamed him right off the snap all season.  In 2023, we still had Jacob Cowing who had 90 catches that year and was drafted by the 49ers last year, so teams couldn't just send everyone after T-Mac on every passing down.

      I wonder if the Hornets view Kon and McNeeley more as forwards and plan to ship off Green/Okogie/Smith for center help. I hope they don’t plan to ship off Sexton as I like what he brings to the team. (2) G - Ball, Mann, Simpson (two-way) (3) G - Sexton, Dinwiddie, Connaughton (3) F - Miller, Knueppel, McNeeley, James (two-way) (3) F - Bridges, Williams, Salaun (3) C - Diabate, Kalkbrenner, Plumlee

      3 main reasons he was better in 2023 and none of them concern me for his NFL prospects 1. Totally new coaching staff that was a massive downgrade and had god awful play calling and designs, the entire fan base was ready to run the coaching staff out of town a month into their first season and the play caller ended up getting changed because it was so bad. 2. Along with the staff downgrade, his QB played significantly worse after being the Pac 12 Freshman of the Year in 2023.  Constantly missed T-Mac when he was wide open, lost out on a number of TDs and a good amount of yardage, half the time T-Mac still almost made miraculous catches on the bad passes too. 3. He hurt his ankle over the summer and missed all of fall camp only to return to practice a few days before the season started and I think he had to deal with it all season long and was slightly limping at times mid season too, but kept fighting through it to still be a 1st team All American.
