9mm wife.

[apsjiml]

Well, my wife can shoot a 9mm very well, and likes it. The sigs, that is the only kind she can easily pull the slides back. Question, should I get a sig too? Or would a glock 19 be better?
I will probably stick with 9mm so I can stock up and that way I don't have a bunch of different cartridges.

Get whichever fits your hand better.

Yep. The most important thing is feel. Oh and $$$ Sig vs Glock is a bit of a price difference depending on model.

Suggestions:
M&P from Smith & Wesson
FNX or FNS from FNH
P30 from H&K (great ergos, great shooter, never a failure with any of my HKs).
Lots of folks love Glocks, just sold mine, no thanks for me on Glocks.

Best Bet: Range that rents, so you can feel & fire.

My wife was a 9mm, but turned into a .45.......oh wait, I only read the thread title, nevermind.

It's certainly cost effective to stick with 9mm across the board if you don't have a real interest in collecting/owning various calibers. My wife carries a G19 every day, but she also LOVES Sigs and conceals a Kahr when needed. Get whatever is comfortable for the shooter.

My wife prefers 9mm most of all.
Her hands seem to like the 1911. Go figure

Mine loves her S&W M&P 9mm, that's the only one she could pull the slide back on in the start. She loves how the grip felt in her hand with the small backstrap as well. Now after shooting it for awhile she can work the slides on any of my pistols!

dang, beat me to it

Sounds like a good way to start.
I'm sure you'll both evolve your preferences over time, and maybe you'll favor variety later on life.
Have fun!

My wife likes her G19, but hey - it's pink camo!
She upgraded from a Bersa 380.

A 9mm wife...she's pretty short.

Just keeping the 9mm constant will simplify your ammo needs, and possibly keep costs down slightly. As far as going Sig because your wife did, the commonality of magazines may be a nice thing to have, and would keep costs for secondary (non cary) mags lower also.
The last few handguns my wife has purchased have been a result of my purchase of a handgun in similar caliber/size. For some reason or another, she has consistently decided against buying the same pistol, and honestly, its not been that big of a deal for us.

If you find that you do like the Sig in the same model that your wife decides on, it would be kinda cool to have matching pistols ala Boondock Saints.

My wife practices with a .22 but cares a 9mm

Don't get the same gun as your wife, or your mags will become "our" mags, which of course means "her" mags.
