i wouldn't get a handgun for home defense unless you intend to use it as a CCW aswell, although a few good CCWs would be the M&P Shield 2.0, Glock 19 (duh, there are smaller Glocks out there but the 19 is the most well rounded, imo) and the Ruger LCP, all of which are pretty good for CCWwhats a good home defense handgun
like i said, i don't like home defense handguns as a concept, id just get a nice rifle- an M&P Sport II or something would be a good way to get into rifles and ARs, they're a dream to shoot and have minimal recoil. PSA is a good spot to buy cheap rifles aswell. If you're on the higher end of things, a Springfield Saint is a good rifle, too.
ARs are plentiful and are effectively the same as the AK in pretty much every other part of the world, in the sense that AR parts are extremely common, cheap, and their rifles are just the same
If you go for a PSA A2 clone, it can go as low as 500, including S&H

this is one of their more expensive models, but it's on sale. I wouldn't recommend it for home defense given just how long the A2s are, however.

This is also a fairly decent starter rifle to get into guns. Firearms is a very nice and rewarding hobby. Even the simplest things like zeroing a scope or something like that can be extraordinarily satisfying. It's just gratifying.
Also, something to consider, ARs are quite possibly one of the absolute easiest guns to fieldstrip. ARs are just one of your best bets for an all round rifle. Hell, if you get an AR-10, (meaning its in things like 7.62x51 and such) you can use it for hunting decently large game, like deer. They're just extremely versatile.
Also, one last thing, you can get ARs in 9mm, and other pistol calibers.

This one has a pistol brace, and is thus classified as a pistol. You can still shoulder the brace. Gun laws are neat like that.
Anyway, that's all the advice I've got to give regarding it, still open to give some clarification or whatever.
