Z, I see a lot of info about you. But isn't this for the wife? Unless she has an equal interest in establishing mastery with an semi-auto, that's the last thing you should tell her to grab. Compared to a revolver it is more complicated, less reliable, and much easier to screw up. If your goal is something that she can grab in a moment of panic when you aren't home, your personal preferences should be the lowest priority. Fact is a revolver requires the trigger to be pulled and it goes bang, every time. No slide to cycle, no safety to disengage, no magazine release to accidentally hit, no possibility of a failure to fire.

When I am out of town I tell my wife to go for either of my 6" revolvers in the event of trouble. They are easy to shoot, accurate, and look really scary to a home invader.
