you still didnt say what you were defending
home
condo
apartment
will make ammo choice for you
a pistol in the 800 dollar range very doable
home defense means its not for concealed carry
so it can be bigger
you will want a front rail for a flash light mounted
bad **** usually happens at night not in the day light
best bet find a local range like Shoot Straight (national chain) and hit the rental section try a **** load
you are looking for grip fit on your hands
trigger distance for the size of your hands etc
just general "feel"
the hitting what you aim at will come with practice
