I might recommend starting small and light... 16 inch "pencil" profile barrel, all polymer furniture and collapsible stock. Your choice of A2 upper and front sight or A3 upper (flattop) and the open or optical sight you prefer. The result will be a lively handling easy to carry piece which is fun to shoot and collapses short enough to be easily concealable, and will work OK (in a pinch) in a vehicle. Target weight is 6 pounds sans magazine or optic... the Mrs. will like that too!
