Sounds like you made a good choice. Now the only thing left to do is get yourself and the wife out to familiarize yourselves with your chosen weapons. The only thing more dangerous than being in a life threatening situation without a firearm is being in a life threatening situation with a firearm that you cannot operate. Remember you are only about half as good in a high stress situation as you are on your best day at the range. Just my 2 cents.
Thanks for the reply. Any recommendations on where to fire? I'd prefer a place where we can go shoot cans and stuff but a range is fine too.
