What are your views on small children playing with toy guns? Does this entrench the wrong approach or are children capable of making the distinction between pointing toys at each other and later correct handling of real firearms? Of course there are no substitutes to properly securing a weapon and eduction (when the time comes), but I ask because Mrs. Hpcatx and I would like to start a family of our own soon and this has been a topic of discussion.

In addition to the 9mm being inexpensive ammo, it means one can stock up on a single caliber -- assuming both (or more) of your guns cycle the same ammo well. Cheaper, accessible ammo also means there's no excuse for not going to the range for frequent practice and ensuring proficiency, even with the smallest of 'em.
