There is no easy answer to that question if neither (or one) of you are not familiar or proficient in firearms.
I like the .38 special but my wife hates the noise and the weight so I let her practice with a .22 revolver. She is happy with that one. I also let her try a .22 automatic but she hates the way the shells eject and the way it recoils.
If you decide to buy a handgun, remember you are looking in the $400 - 600 range for a reliable one. So you will want handguns that you and your wife will be happy with.
The Gun Range on Rt 44 only has a .22 revolver for rent. I wish they had a .22 automatic and a few larger caliber revolvers for rent. I was able to borrow the other handguns from friends for her to check out.
