My only objection to the CZ75B is that I thought the OP wanted something that can't be carried cocked and locked. Maybe a CZ75BD?
My wife tolerated my obsession until one day when she was home alone and the front door was smashed open. She grabbed my Glock 23 and raked the slide. At that moment she became a true believer. The female deputy that investigated said the only mistake my wife made was not shooting the guy. I'm glad he ran, but the story would be different today. And the thing is, you're not going to be around 100% of the time. Get her involved.... I basically just told her I needed one in case something ever happens because it's my duty to protect my family. She pretty much stopped objecting at that point.
I don't mind if it can be carried cocked and locked at all, I just have to be able to show my wife why it can't go off just with a trigger pull with a bullet in the chamber. In other words, that rules out Glocks but probably not much else. She doesn't want the gun in the house at all, so I'm giving her that concession. Her dad has about 50 guns so I'm not sure where this is coming from, but it's taken me a few years to get this far so I want to ease her into gun ownership.
Even a grip safety should work honestly. Just something I can point to as a safety. She's probably not going to fire it for a very long time, so it literally just needs to be something I can show.
If this sounds a bit manipulative, well... it is I guess! I see the need for having a gun around and we have kid #2 on the way (hence the safety need, even though it will be in a small safe beside my bed). I basically just told her I needed one in case something ever happens because it's my duty to protect my family. She pretty much stopped objecting at that point.
Yeah, that's the way to handle it. Who needs any input from a woman?You need to educate your wife on Gun safety and safe handling practices -
Glock 17 or 19 and be done with it.
I can't believe this wasn't mentioned.
I've seen, and experience, many a handgun "slide bite", but all were on the hand. I've never seen or even heard of one biting an arm.My wife prefers revolvers ATM because she's worried about the slide biting her arm.

Do a google search before you make a comment about the safety.
