Glock 17. Can’t go wrong with a full sized pistol for HD to start. Get an optic cut, good dot, and a weapon mounted light. After you guys proficient with that, gradually work up to something else. Whatever you do, just make sure you get a platform you will train with consistently in a caliber that you can easily stock up on.
While I do see people here suggesting shotgun, a few things to consider: 1) does your local indoor range let you shoot a shotgun, 2) if not, are you willing to get to an outdoor range 1-2 times a month to train, 3) can your wife handle the recoil of a shotgun? I’m a big dude, never shot a shotgun, and even I think it would kick my ass.
I also wanted a shotgun, but I wouldn’t train with it nearly as much as I do my G17/ARs, simply because my local range doesn’t allow shotguns and I don’t go to the outdoor range much. Just my take on it.CAgunsGreat_Taro_7907<div class=”md”><p>Glock 17. Can’t go wrong with a full sized pistol for HD to start. Get an optic cut, good dot, and a weapon mounted light.
