I carry a Glock, that being said, Glocks are not for the inexperienced.
They do NOT have a thumb safety.
The only safety is on the trigger itself, which is not a safety at all in the regular sense.
Would recommend a 9mm compact with a thumb safety, loaded with Remington Golden Saber rounds.
Rugar may be a good choice, I have Rugar revolvers and they are excellent, but I do not own a Ruger compact semi-auto 9mm.
Recoil is not bad at all with a 9mm and 9mm Golden Sabers will do the damage of a standard .45.
