I would suggest a Glock 26, 19, or a S&W M&P 9C. All are 9mm. Point and pull without a lot of recoil.

First let me start by saying I don't like Obama and did not vote for him. The fear of Jan 20th is just that and nothing more for now. I do agree that a ban will eventually come but it's not going to happen on Jan. 20th or right after. It will be for assult weapons and magazines that have over 10 round capacity. If you are buying a revolver or a compact that holds 10 rounds or less, then you have no worries because they are not being targeted. If you want an AR or something that carries more then 10 rounds then I would be looking now because of supply and demand and it will eventually be targeted.
