All we can do is suggest- but for personal defense it always comes down to personal preference.
I have a S&W M&P 9mm with a big old light on it an 18 rounds in it next to me when I sleep.
I carry either a S&W .380 Bodyguard (supper tinny) or a Walther PPS 9MM depending on how I am dressed.
I practice with these weapons all the time and ensure they are always in working order.
3 things I will say is a must:
.Always carry Defensive Ammo (hollow points..ect...- no ball ammo)
.Find a range that lets you rent guns.. will be cheaper in the long run to find the one you like.
.Take a CCW class if your state allows CCWs.
Be safe and good luck- read a lot- use the web.. but it comes down to how it feels in your hand and how you intend to use it to defend yourself and family.
