I have had a few Glock's and a few Beretta's now I carry a S&W M&P 40 it has a nice feel, and is a smooth shooting gun. For home protection I have a wheel gun 38 snub nose S&W air weight.

Hail -
At least part of your concern seems to be your wife - and her acceptance. An interesting approach to this is to involve her with guns.
Suggest that the two of you go to a gun range - rent a gun - and teach her to shoot, if she doesn't already know how. (You could take a course together, too.)
Often what happens is that the wife (or girl friend) likes what she learned - it boosts her ego to overcome a fear of guns and likely she will end up being a better shooter than you. She is now hooked.
No more problem. She will want a gun - her own gun. And possible more guns.
I'm going to suggest that you start with a revolver because they are so very simple and reliable - no racking of slides - no potential stovepipes - no potential jams to learn to clear. Very easy to understand. Very easy to unload. Very easy to tell if they are loaded.
Just pull the trigger and it goes "bang". Very simple.
I'm speaking from close personal experience that this scenario works.
