Glock barrels and mags are all inter-changeable also. I used to mess around and change mine up all the time I owned a G22,G23 abd G27 all .40 cal and G26 9mm.

Glocks are the safest guns in world when it comes to accidental dis-charge. Their safety action mechanism cannot be fired unless a finger is on the trigger.
And for that same reason me and my buddy are getting one

Sigs do not have a "safety" the "safety" is your index finger so to speak. Other firearms have a safety with glocks being one of the most well renowned. The hammer/pin will not setoff the round without using the trigger whereas on some other firearms you could drop the gun or be trying to clear a jam and have that happen.

I just told you how haha :-) Also, another thing you have to look into if you are looking at semi-autos is how much those particular ones jam. There are a lot of things that make them jam. Generally, glocks are known to eat pretty much any rounds you throw in there, the sigs can be more picky about what rounds you use. If you find a round that you use 2-300 times w/o jamming then generally that is a good round. A semi auto usually will not be AS reliable as your average revolver though.

For home protection, a shotgun with buckshot is a great choice. If you have many people in the house birdshot is probably a better choice, however you are less likely to kill the intruder.

I see people recommending Glocks. For a first gun I wouldn't recommend a glock. And I just don't like the balance or the how stiff the trigger feels.

I think a 12ga or a Revolver is your best bet. A revolver is always ready and has a nice light trigger.

Edit: I didn't want to start a brand war.

One last thing. Be prepared to spend about $500-900 for a good gun.

In San Bernardino there is a shooting range with a gun store. You can rent any gun you like there to help you decide which one feels "natural" in your tiny little hands. After you buy your gun there, you can use it at the range and to help you leave San Bernardino as well.
