any kind of Glock...
anything but a glock. LOL
Do you plan to have this for just target practice or do you plan on a ccw later. Also, how much time do you have behind a handgun. Will this be occasional for trips out of town? Lots of things to be considered.
The best advice you can get is that post #14 from volunbeer....
Here’s my advice. Remember, it’s worth exactly what you paid for it.
Find a good quality used .357 magnum revolver. I’d recommend something with a 4” barrel length. Have it looked at by a competent gunsmith before you purchase.
Reasoning: This gun can safely chamber and fire both .357 magnum and .38 Special ammunition. It’s far less complex to learn to use than a semi auto. You can practice with less powerful and less expensive .38 ammo, then use .357 for defense work.
You also don’t need to worry about extra magazines, etc.
Revolvers are great for learning the fundamentals of shooting as well.
Just my two cents, YMMV.
Best,
