If you truly want to be ready for anything (and that anything may well include protecting your family in a crisis), then a firearm should definitely be part of your plan.
Semi-auto pistols are the most popular and practical self- defense option out there -- and for good reason. They pack a big punch in a small package.
But when you start shopping, you'll quickly find that the sheer number of options out there is borderline overwhelming.
That's why I consulted with a few of my buddies in the tactical shooting industry, law enforcement, as well as my own firearm collection to come up with a list of the Top 5 best semi-autos for the money.
From the blog:
"When it comes to self-defense, the vast majority of military and tactical experts choose to carry a sidearm, rather than a shotgun or rifle. Semi-automatic pistols, in specific, are hands down winner when you put it to vote. And the reasons are simple. Semi-auto pistols offer a great deal of tactical advantages over other firearms. They’re lighter, more compact, and they hold plenty of ammo. For these reasons, they make a much more practical “everyday carry” than a pump shotgun or even a Colt revolver.
Plus, there’s just something really nice about squeezing off a few rounds through a semi-auto. Advances in technology have made these guns a real pleasure to shoot..."

P.S. Don't forget to let me know which great semi-autos I've left off the list in the comments section.

I've got two 9mm's so I also got a progressive reloader with 9mm dies. ;)

Of the five mentioned on his list, I would choose the Glock. NOT on his list, NOT a budget gun: anything Heckler and Koch (HK) makes.

And like all Tupperware the Glock is dishwasher safe!

Wow, a four inch bbl Colt Python with Class A engraving!
The grips appear to be Bill Jordan's preferred design.
"Through and through" was Bill's goal, and he always achieved it!
He believed that goblins who were leaking from diameter sized (.357-hence the semi wadcutter bullets) holes front and back would have little fight left in 'em.

This is the guy that does the engraving you see. It's a bit too pimped out for daily wear. (Was made for a client's wife.) Still, you can see that there was a master engraver at the bench.
I'm gonna try this out on flintlock side and lock plates. I'm learning tricks from these vids. It's relatively easy learning working with brass. It takes years of patient practice before you're any good engraving on steel. Especially when you're working on a customer's valued safe queen!

When I lived in LA I visited PACHMAYR's home shop on Grand Ave, and they had a S&W MOD 66 (Stainless Steel Combat Magnum in .357) with class A engraving and gold trim and it was like...the MOST beautimous revolver I'd ever seen!
It was locked with a nylon tie wrap to prevent dry firing and was priced at around $3,000 frauds. Of course now, decades later it would prolly cost 15K.
The first time I fired a Colt Python .357 I was playing in upstate New York. The son of the head physician/director of the nearby nut house was a dynamic singer (who did Elvis, unfortunately. I couldn't stand to do his show every night) and he had a gun collection befitting a rich doctor's son.
He assembled some hand loads, some of which were so full of powder that he had to dump some out to seat the wadcutters and we went out to a field to shoot. There was an old, rusted (and hopefully forgotten) multi blade field discer (the kind pulled by a tractor) that was partially buried and obscured by grass, and he used it as his target.
Those bullets, fired from a 6 inch barrel busted through those steel blades like paper.
But the noise was ungodly. I was new to hand loading so I had to trust him when it came to not blowing the gun up. His indifference to accuracy (and to private property) left me with the impression that he was a rich kid with no interests that required discipline or dedication. I'd have been more impressed if he had showed me how he could hit a half dollar at effective hunting and combat ranges. I was able to do this later when I learned more about shootin' and stuff.
Here in DE a buddy of mine was contracted to do work at one of the Dupont's mansions, and he found some empty 5 inch naval gun shells partially buried on the back of the property. Well, shortly after removing them his boss received a call and he was told to return the property ASAP.
Many members of The Dupont Family are viewed as great philanthropists, but the one thing they don't abide is someone trying to take something, anything from them.
I explained this to my sticky fingered buddy, who had a bad habit of finding things of value.
This is why I have to wonder if that rusty field discer in New York wasn't being prepped for museum display. Regardless, it was not something I would have damaged because sand blasting and reconditioning could have restored it as a beautiful antique.

A pic of an FN 57 with a 30 round clip.
I have one sitting in my bedroom dresser.

That's some mighty fine there. They say them 5.7 rounds really smart when you're standing in the way.
Can you get groups at 25 yards?
