The best/most reliable 9mm?

Hi everyone. I was here months ago with advice to sell my husbands 357 magnum, not very practical for sure especially for home protection. We are looking for a 9mm caliber gun and have heard a lot of opinions, one guy we know swears by the SIG P226. My husband and I stopped at a gun club in our town and it was barren, the display cases were completely wiped out, they say COVID and the recent riots were the causes. At any rate they did not have a P226 but they did have a 320 which he said would be better especially for me as my grip is not as strong as my husbands and eliminates the need to pull the hammer back for the initial shot. So. I know there are a lot of really nice people here, very helpful to us last time, I am hoping to hear what you all think would be the best/most reliable, something we can both easily use, and given the fact we will use for home protection. Thank you all in advance for your time and consideration.

If you could even find a descent reliable handgun now, with whats going on? Your going to be paying through the nose for something, and jumping though the legal hoops. For something not one bit better, than the .357, IMHO.
Have your husband show you, how the .357, can be fired with just a trigger pull. Not having to cock the hammer. As long as it's, not a single action only revolver.
I to am a resident of AZ. You need at least a AZ, CCW card, to obtain a handgun on date of purchase. And a AZ drivers license, that data wise coincides with the CCW card. The CCW card is available on-line though. All required state and federal paperwork, has to filled out prior to purchase of any firearm. There are no shortcuts, as far as these requirements are concerned.
If your not going to carry it and use it for home defense only, buy a pump shotgun and shoot #4 buckshot in it. This will allow you to use both hands to control it, and at close range it is devastating.
It sounds like your wrist sensitive, why not go to a 380 if you have your mind set on a hand gun. As far as a brand to choose, I can only say Colt, or possibly a Colt, if you can’t find one, then I would go with a Colt.
