Researching pistols to purchase. This will be for learning and home defense for the wife and me. I do not want to purchase a $1000 firearm. I plan of using a ton of cheap ammo for practicing and some better stuff for home defense. Eventually, I would for us to get our CWPs. Once she is comfortable with it, I may step up to a 45.

Based on what I have seen, I am leaning towards a Glock 19 because how easy it looks to maintain. Plus, 9mm ammo is cheap. My only concern would be the wide grip for the wife.

Any suggestions and comments will be well received.
