It's your pistol and your choice, not your husbands. Get what feels good in your hand and is simple to carry and use, even if you have to pay for it yourself.
For a first pistol, a revolver is a good choice. No one regrets having something like a S&W .38 Special. You can get 2" or 3" barrels.
If you are comfortable with a semi-automatic, Ruger or Kahr make good little
.380 and 9mm models.
What you do not want to do is just toss a pistol in your purse. For holsters, more than one is generally the rule. Inside the waist under a top is one, ankle holster is another, and outside the waist under a jacket is another. Waist packs may be another option at some times.
It's something you need to carry on your person, so make sure hubby knows he's on the hook for a new wardrobe as well!
Don't forget new shoes !
