Well I bought my first handgun today, thanks to all for the recommendations.
I was rather undecided as to what to get at the beginning of today, but after handling quite a few options (Glock Gen4 G19, Glock Gen3 G26, Smith and Wesson M&P9C, Kahr CW-9, Springfield XD 4", and Springfield XD Subcompact) I ended up with the Springfield XD 4" with Trijicon sights and the XD gear pack (2 16rd mags, holster, mag loader, mag holster).
I took my wife with me to IndyGunSafety today and spent well over an hour going through the details of all of them. In the end the Springfield won because my wife really liked the grip safety.
I won't be able to apply for my LTCH until my next paycheck so a range report is a few weeks out but I am happy with my purchase, i think the Springfield will serve me well for home defense. My wife is already talking about or next handgun purchase
