This Saturday we went to the gun show. We want to get a gun for home safety and decided that the gun show would have a wide selection for cheap. We got there and were sadly disappointed. There were two large buildings filled with guns but most of them were rifles and then a bunch of collectible paraphernalia. We found about two cases filled with hand guns and only a few of them were 45 caliber, which is what we want to get. We did find one that was in our price range and the caliber that we wanted but we didn't know much about the brand. We asked our parents (dads) if they had idea if Ruger was a good brand for a gun and they each said yes. We decided not to buy it though because we still weren't sure and then we left the gun show.
We still wanted to look for a gun though so we went to another place that sold guns and they said that Ruger is a great brand and that they have them on order but because of the democratic take over in office, people decided to stock up on their guns and replacing them is taking a long time. So, we went to another gun store that had a Ruger but it was still more expensive than the one we saw at the gun show. We decided to have a family meeting and figure out wether or not we should go back and get the gun we saw in the first place. We decided yes and took off back to the gun show.
We got there and the gun was gone. Someone bought it and they didn't have anymore. We were disappointed but I guess it just wasn't meant to be. My dad is going to try and get us one, the same one we were going to get, in Arizona. Apparently California is a pain when it comes to buying guns and the paperwork and laws are ridiculous so Arizonia might be a little easier. Dom and I both hope that my dad pulls it off and that we will be the proud owners of a new Ruger P 345 single, double action gun soon. :) If not then we will continue to be on the hunt.

Erik (my husband) says go with a Smith and Wesson M & P 40. It has like 3 different grips so you can find one that works for you. They (S & W) also make one with thumb safety, which you have to have to be legal in CA. If anything go to a gun store or a pawn shop and just ask to hold a bunch of different guns because you want to find one that fits comfortably in your hand and that you can actually use. I have a Taurus 605 .357 that I like a lot (I'm more comfortable with a revolver). also you could check out www.northwestfirearms.com and also www.corneredcat.com. Sorry if that's more advice than you want or need! : )
I went and looked up the Ruger...that sounds like a sweet gun too. Good luck!
Thanks for all the advice. Everything is helpful. I had Dom read the comment because to be honest I didn't understand all of it. :) I am pretty sure that we are set on a 45 Ruger and we keep hearing great things about it as a home defense weapon which will be it's primary purpose. I think we might have found another one that is in our price range, which I am really excited about. Thanks again and I'll let you know when we get one. :)
