Something to keep in your home, target shoot, conceal carry in the car, or conceal carry on your person?
Jorge
I like Glock 17

NOT TO FAMILIAR WITH SMALLER CALIBERS. I HAVE A .40 CAL DESERT EAGLE. I LOVE IT AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH IT.

glocks-17-23 !! less recoil !!

Why do you need a handgun? Who or what are you going to shot cause handguns are not for hunting!
Sarah
42 Magnum. Its solid, non jamming and its easy to reload. Ive got one, had it for 2 years and its never jammed. Handlin it aint no walk in the park tho… in that gun uve got 10% BULLET and 90% BADASS firepower!!! be careful…
(not recomended for ages 3 and under. bullets not included.)

Any semi-auto will jam, some more than others.
A S&W 686 is a good handgun that will never jam, and with moon clips and practice, it can reload just about as fast as any semi-auto out there.
The M&P 340 is a more concealable option.

I would go with one of the Ruger handguns your choice or the Smith&Wesson M&P.
Carla
A .38spl or .357 mag. Taurus, Rossi, Ruger, Smith and probably even Colt make them. Colt and Smith will cost the most. For most durable finish, get a SS or Titanium. A short barrel, 2″ is easily concealed. They are available in 5 to 7-shot models.

My 20 yr old Taurus Mod 85 saved my life when an armed kid tried to rob me one night 2 summers ago.

The Smith and Wesson model 642 .38 Special is a very popular carry gun. Revolver reliability and very light.
Amy
First handgun for protection 38 spl. smith & wesson . Not a lot of recoil gets the job done or you can get a ,357 magnum (a little bulkier) you can load it with 38 spl. or .357 magnum depending on what you want to do with it (more versatile). I prefer 125 gr semi jacket HP (just a suggestion)

Jamming nowadays in nearly any modern name-brand pistol is 99% of the time a function of shooter’s error: Pistol is held limp-wristed; lack of maintenance (failure to keep properly cleaned & lubed); using poor quality ammo. Some pistols are more forgiving than others. Glocks, for example, are extremely user-friendly, reliable, dependable, more forgiving of low-maintenance, accurate-as-the-shooter, high capacity and available in more diverse calibers and frame sizes than any other modern pistol. Ruger pistols share many of these good qualities with the exception of not being available in as many different calibers and frame sizes as Glocks. These are easily reloaded by keeping loaded spare magazines. You should get at least one extra magazine with Glocks & Rugers.
Revolvers do not jam but can misfire or lock-up from lack of maintenance. They reload nearly as quickly as a pistol if you keep loaded speedloaders on hand. So if you want a pistol select a Glock in your choice of caliber. I’d recommend the Glock Model 19 as it is a very utilitarian pistol that fits most hands. Ruger follows. If you want a revolver then Ruger makes some of the best: The GP-100 (full-size) or the SP-101 (compact). The Smith & Wesson 686 is an excellent choice if you’re willing to spend a little more money.
Calibers? Revolver go with the .357 Magnum and load down if you wish with .38 Special ammo; pistol go with the 9mm and use ball ammo for practice & defensive rounds in the 115 to 127 grain jacketed hollow-point design for defense.
Good luck.

“solid, non-jamming gun that can easily be reloaded.”
357 revolver then shoot the lighter 38 special out of it.
It takes a major ***** up to jam a revolver, although I have done it. And they are simple to use.
Dolores
Smith & Wesson Revolver with a 4 inch barrel in 357 Magnum caliber.* It has been tried, true , tested, and proven to be the best no-nonsense man stopper of them all.* Use 125 grain jacketed hollow points for self-defense ammo.* You get two (2*) handguns for the price of one, because you can also shoot 38 caliber ammo in the 357 Magnum.*
Luis
if it not a revolver it will jam.
get a high point .380 some guys mentioned other gun, but the ammo will be expensive. you can pick one of these up on gunbrokers.com for about a hundred bucks good starter gun.

canons are nice

if you’ve really got some cash i recommend any sig hand guns. their very pricey but you get what you pay for. their ussualy up in the two big ones area. something cheaper is a model 19 11. these are very powerful guns and amazingly tough. i forget all of the tests but one was they dropped the gun in a bucket of mud, pulled it out, shook it, and then fired a few rounds and it was perfect, their also pricey but more in the 200-800 range that ive seen. a very compact gun is a snub-nose revolver. their good guns but very very inacurate, they were made mostly for concealment and defence. my dad used to carry one when he delivered pizza after getting robbed, he said once when it was dark out a big black guy started walking over to him with bad vibes all around him, he pulled out the gun just incase and the guy took off running. sometimes you dont even need to shoot so thats a very nice gun for that sort of thing, also very noisy so if just seeying the gun didnt scare him mabey the sound will. anyways, good luck, keep safe and responsible.

Springfield Armory XD
Ruger SR9
Taurus 24/7 Pro

Most come in a smaller size for conceal carry besideds the Ruger. The Ruger are very slim though and I find comfortable to carry concealed.
Taurus also has the Millenium Pro is a good gun too.
Esther
Glock 21
semiautomatic with reasonable magazine capacity
.45acp is a man stopper
affordable but a tiny bit pricey at about $500
see what one owner did to his Glock 21:
not saying that you should treat your gun this way or be in a situation that you many need to shoot the Glock with a .22 or throw it out of a plane, but the tests show that the gun is extremely reliable and will most likely not fail (jam or failure to feed/eject) in your use.

I like my .357 s&w but is a little heavy to tote everywhere compared to newer guns. Just find what you like then read some reviews it is more of feel. My model 13-3 feels good in my hand but not for more than 25 feet is it good with its short barrel and people tell me not really better than a 38 special. Price was right though.
