The FBI went back to 9mm because with proper defensive ammo it has as much
stopping power as .40 or .45 at standard engagement distances.  9mm has minima
l recoil, allowing for quick followup shots, plus a larger capactiy of
ammunition.  You never know if an intruder is alone, or has a buddy nearby.

I'm partial to the S&W M&P series and Shield models, however Glocks are ultra
reliable.  So  are Sig, Walthers, and CZ's offerings.  Taurus appear to have
a nice price point, however their quality has been hit and miss (pardon the
pun) a few years back.  Rugers are also reliable without being too expensive.
