It's precisely because I am not an experienced marksman like you that I must rely on the testimonials of others. All I've learned is that there is no consensus on the "best". BTW Glock does rock, nothing to the contrary was intended. Fantastic weapons - along with Beretta, H&K, and SIG, each with its own distinct advantages.
Good Lord woman, don't you know those things explode in your hands? Google Kboom!
As for H&K, in the handgun arena, I'd rather have a Ruger revolver. I hate the trigger.
SIG? Well... maybe I'm just snobby.... and my daughter drives a BMW. I'll learn to forgive her.
It doesn't matter what you shoot. Take it to the range and practice until it's your nature. My first piece said J.C.Penneys on it.
