Looking for advice on a gun to leave at home with my daughter. She is 18, knows her gun safety and has practiced several times with a Glock 26. I want to get another gun, a revolver, for her at the house. I don't really want to spend a fortune on it because it hopefully will never get shot, but if needed, I want to know it will go bang. What's your advice?
Well, I'm a huge revolver and a 1911 fan, but use and respect Glocks a lot..... Why dont you just pick up a Glock 17 or 19 and call it good? Works the exact same as the G26 she's driven, and theres ammo compatibility (and to an extent, mag compatibility too.... The big guns mags work fine in the little one). If she was gonna be toting it with her, a J Frame Smith would make a lot of sense. Hard to shoot little guns at any distance, but very fast into action and forgiving at the probable muzzle contact distances a female is likely to encounter on the street. Really tho, I think a bigger gun is more appropriate for the house.
Yea, if you can trust somebody with a gun at all, the Glocks are almost as simple as it gets. I got my daughter a 19, and a Smith 642. I figured that'll cover all her bases. They're sitting in the safe now till she gets old enough.
I'd go with something like a S&W 686 so you can shoot both +P 38s and 357 loads. The Glock 19/17 is a great option. It's easy to maintain, reliable, tough and easy to accessorize with a light/laser and night sights.
M&P Shield. 9mm, or, .40.
M&P Full size, Compact. 9mm, .40, or .357 Sig.
M&P 45. Full size, Mid size, or Compact.
Glock, although grip may be too fat for some girls hands.
S&W J, K, or L frame .357/.38 Revolver.
Cheaper, maybe even better....Shotgun!

Ewwww, a revolver? Who would want a revolver? She don't want no steenkin' revolver...better u gimme dat ting I takes care of it for you before sumbody know u gots a revolver.
A J frame Smith has been mentioned. It would be my suggestion also. Get one that has the longer grip...much easier to hold. The reason for the revolver, post #8, stupid simple to operate and the J frame will go off every time you pull the trigger with nearly no chance for a failure. And that's when it's clogged with dresser drawer sock fuz and all other manner of crud.
