[rec.guns] 9mm Glock 17

I'm sure this question has been asked many times.  I'm looking to purhcase
a gun for home protection.  I need one that my fiance can also shoot.  I
have done an initial search and talked with local NRA reps about getting
proper training.  I was also able to shoot a Beretta, but it seemed a bit
large and heavy.  I have never shot the Glock but have heard many good things
about it and would appreciate any more input.  Good reliability, easy handling
and shooting, and a good saftey mechanism(s) are of primary concern (as they
should be for a side arm for home protection).  Is there anything I am missing
and are there any other guns I should take a look at?  What about the Glock 19? Thanks for any input.

P.S. Also include the prices that I should look for if possible. Thanks.
