I would say take a look at the Sig p250. With its modular design, the Central Firing Unit is the same on all the weapons, and that would give you both the opportunity to carry what you feel most comfortable in- You can have a full size and she a subcompact or vice verca in either 9mm, .40 S&W, .357 Sig, or .45 ACP (not in SC).

Glock. Same magazines work in same caliber pistols of different size. Take a magazine from a full size Glock and it will work in a compact of the same caliber, just no the other way around for obvious reason of length. Easy to work on for parts replacement if needed. Hop-up parts are available directly from Glock for dirt cheap. They won't break the bank and they'll go bang with every trigger pull.
Update: we went to the 1500 and handled a LOT of guns. Met the guys from Plainfield who sold us on at least 2. Best quote. "What is the best gun to carry. The one you have on you". I cant carry the glock at work and neither can she. We BOTH can CC the 380. That being said he took the time and let us handle every model and asked where and how we would carry. Wife liked the 380 as it was small and they offered a clip option so she could carry even in some of the smaller outfits. Sold me on a poket gun and she agreed I could ALSO get a glock. Picking them up next week. While they can be EDC AND CC she agreed I can get my glock 19 or 22 as our fun gun and OC. Who could ask for better wife. It was a dream for same guns and got totally different opinion after goin to 1500. Helped she got jewelry made out of shel casings. That is what got me my glock too.
We got a great deal. Kel-Tec. They were willing to take my Taurus as a trade but was thinking about listing here. They were out of the two we wante but said would be in by Friday so was thinking of listing and if it sells between then great, if not will take it in. We also need to sell/trade a black powder rifle but they were not interested.
Wife and I discussed that and met Dave from INGO at their both. She is good with supporting and I have found the knowledge rewarding. More than the 15 bucks for the minimum support. Saved 9 bucks alone at 1500 with free parking and coupons which u learned about here. Which we spend way more there with extra ammo, steel shooting stands, targets. Wife's first time going but said as we are leaving "we will be coming back in October so save your money if you want more toys." love my wife...

I suggest looking at the 23 or 22 and picking up a lone wolf conversion barrel. That way you can shoot 9mm, .357sig, and .40... instead of getting the 19 or 17 and being limited to 9mm. Then again, if you told me I could only have one gun it would be a 19.
Congrats!
I had no idea that was possible. We are possibly bartering for a Glock 22 in the next week or two. Waiting on guy's schedule to open up. This opens up a whole new world. Really appreciate the info. Is this a standard part than can be ordered?
Luckily for me wife is on board with increasing our on hand items. When we met we had just one handgun, mine. Since then we have moved up to three handguns and 45 rifles with permission to get more. She now looks forward to time shooting.

for example:
g22- Lone Wolf Conversion Barrel Glock 22 40 S&W to 9mm Luger 1 16 Twist
g-23 Lone Wolf Conversion Barrel Glock 23 40 S&W to 9mm Luger 1 16 Twist
you can order it from many places and there are several brands. I have the lone wolf and love it.
You will need glock 19/17 magazines for the 9mm though. I believe the .357sig works in your standard .40 mags.
g22- Lone Wolf Conversion Barrel Glock 22 40 S&W to 9mm Luger 1 16 Twist
g-23 Lone Wolf Conversion Barrel Glock 23 40 S&W to 9mm Luger 1 16 Twist

My suggestion would be to go for the mid-size rather than the full size (i.e. either the G19/23).
They can use the full-size mags so you give up nothing in capacity for home, the range, or a spare/backup mag. And they're just enough smaller than the full size they can be daily CCed.
While not my personal choice, Glock is a great weapon to go with, especially given that you would like modularity between handguns. If you are expecting to get a G22, I would shoot it, and see where that lands your opinion on the .40 S&W. If you are good with that, look at the size, and other models in 40 cal. The G22 would be a great choice as a house gun, and the G27 (I believe is the sub-compact .40) as a carry gun.
