What are your favorite guns for someone who is not a big gun enthusiast but is passionate about self defense?

Like, you aren't optimizing for a zombie apocalypse but you want your wife to be able to pick up the gun and defend the house from intruders if need be, and the gun's maintenance levels have been maybe questionable but it's reliable enough to still probably work reliably and she can wield it.

Best to go to a gun range and say the same thing you just posted. Test out a few handguns, rifles. It really depends on the person.

A rifle is deadlier, easier to shoot compared to a pistol. Pistol is easier to carry, etc.

After purchase, get training or train at home on how to operate the weapon.

This is the correct answer.

12 gauge shotgun for a new shooter is a quick way to get someone afraid of guns. Shotguns are more complex, 12gauge hits your shoulder really hard. No go. I’d rather they get a Ruger 10/22 with 25rd magazine…. But nothing beats experience.
