I am not n enthusiast and have avoided purchasing a gun for a long time but my son has convinced me I should have one in the house. I am female and only need this for home security so I don't want to spend a ton of money but I want something reliable, my son has suggested this gun, does this make sense for me?

Stacey, yes Ma'am, this will make an excellent 1st pistol. It will have very basic and simple operation. Once you get comfortable with shooting it, a semi auto pistol may be later on down the line for extra capacity in a similar size and weight pistol.The ammunition I would recommen for home defense is here : https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/56781/hornady+38+special+critical+defense+110+grain+critical+defen

I strongly suggest that before you get a gun you go to a local range that has rental guns and try out a few it would be even better if you can find a local range that gives a beginners lesson.
