I owned a PX4 Storm but it was a 40. Great Gun! (Regret selling it) I second this recommendation.

i like my Springfield XD subcompact..

mines a 40 cal.. but it has great control.

I've got a .40 XDm and the wife has a Sig P232 with a Crimson Trace laser. I'm building an AR-15. I'd like to get a shotgun. The wife and I would both like to get another handgun or three. Maybe a compact 1911 or a 9 mm... or ...

This thing looks just like my Glock 27. It's a .40 cal too and is good if you can get within 10 feet of your target.

I have an airsoft M45 that I accidentally shot off a round once in the house so I dont think I will be safe with a real gun. The airsoft was powerful enough to put a dent in the sheetrock.

I will stick to my home alarm system instead since I am too accident prone

if you plan on using a semi-auto pistol for home defense, you better know how to use it. my advice coming from being raised in east oakland, remington police model pump shotgun and a 357 revolver as backup.

have to agree on the shotgun for home protection..but nothing wrong with a handgun for backup..lol

I have a 9mm semi (Glock) and a .357 (revolver). I love both am super comfortable with both. That's the key - YOU have to have a comfort level where you can grab it & (God forbid) use it at a moments notice. If you're buying one for the home & you're married - take your wife. There's no sense in only one of you being able to use it if an ugly situation arises.
