Glock 9mm is your best bet. Safe, durable and accurate. Reliable as hell. 9mm ammo is cheaper to shoot and when loaded with personal defense ammo, it is a stopper. Most any member of the family can handle a 9mm. Is it also going to be carried? You may find cheaper guns, but what is your family worth and is it going to fire when you need it?

thanks samD for the imput, no the choice of handgun willnot be carried, strickly in-house. the PD ammo is something else to consider..

PD ammo is an absolute must. If god forbid you shoot an intruder and DON't use PD ammo, you are subject to find yourself in very serious legal trouble. Anti-gun Prosecutors have used FMJ ammo as a reason to go after a legal shooter for using "Hunting Ammo" their term. Please take a concealed weapons training course, even if you don't carry. I don't go out to get my paper in the AM without at least a loaded pocket pistol. But what good is a gun if it is locked up inside and unloaded. You could be very dead before you could get to it. The reason I carry a gun is because a cop is too heavy.

If your gun is going to be strictly a house gun, go with the full size Glock 17. No reason to sacrifice velocity and accuracy if you don't need to conceal it all day long.
ivantank
yes in house only, point well made..thanks

You can find very solid reliable Rugers for around 300-400 bucks. I have had very good performance with Ruger products and they are less expensive.
