Update.
I’m geared up thanks to the local Cabelas
Winchester SXP tactical loaded with federal Force X2
And a Smith and Wesson M&P 9
Both with flashlights on the rails .
Had to order a clip load assist device. $12 on Amazon
Those little 9mm and my arthritic fingers don’t play well together.

I have the Winchester tactical with the light on the rail. It’s my home defense weapon. I pity the fool that meets me in the middle of the night with it in hand. Pray it never happens but I guarantee I’m shooting first and asking questions later. Great choices IMO. Has your wife ever shot a gun. Mine hadn’t when we met and really enjoyed it when she learned.

My wife has never seen a weapon of any kind except on TV
My guy , who I trust seriously is gonna bring his 22s and 380s and take her to the range.
Without me. I think that’s best.
She will want one of her own after that . Zl

My wife liked our 44 as long as she had "special loads" which weren't nothing like the 44 mag loads lol💥

Some people can't shoot a 9mm semi auto. They limp wrist it, and it becomes a single shot. For them a revolver may be a better choice.

Good plan my wife would learn better/faster being taught be someone who isn’t me. Takes the husband/ wife dynamic away and just creates a teacher/ student relationship.👍🏻

Ben, I think everyone on the stage could learn a valuable lesson from your experience. I have never needed to do anything like what you did but I only think I am ready in the event needed. When someone is threatening a member of your family you were able to unleash the tiger from within.
Very good job and I'm pleased that you didn't get hurt. Bill

Regardless of gun/caliber/gauge choice, regular practice i paramount. Putting it in a drawer or closet and not being intimate with the operations is the worst, if a bad guy takes it away from you. Practice, Practice, Practice.
I feel shotgun shooting trap/skeet/sporting clays is more fun and rewarding but not so good for concealed carry. Joining a club that does some form of action pistol can be great fun too.

Ben, been there, done that. I actually had to shoot someone. He saw I had a firearm, in my hand, and still came at me with a knife.
Whitey you are so right. More people are killed with a .380 than with any other cal. The one reason, is that most people don't miss with one. It is merely a self protection, from someone that is only a few feet from you, and coming in. That is my personal carry weapon. The Sig is with me almost always, and I hope I will never use it.

Last thing I want is to get kicked of the stage but does anyone think it's funny that their are those that want to take guns away from law abiding citizens but nothing is mentioned on how to take guns away from criminals?
Just a question

If you are looking for a logical, common sense answer to that question, I think you will be terribly disappointed.

Expect little from people. You are seldom disappointed.
