I own a Glock 19. Due to the lack of safety (I don’t consider the trigger a safety) I don’t much care for it. The feel is OK and the high cap mags are OK. I just don’t think it is my top choice in CCW carry. I find it doesn’t feed all 9mm without problem. If you use Silver Bear ammo (made in Russia) it shoots like crap. Stovepipe jams and worse.
I prefer my 1911 Springfields in .45 or my H&K USP Compact in .40. They do the job and have never refused to function regardless of what brand of ammo I use.
A Glock is OK but there are many that are much better.
I agree. Glocks are a price point bargain, reliable, but because of the action, probably the worst handgun option for a beginner.
