Thanks Vendome.
Just helped a friend become a full American. Taught him safety, handling, grip, stances, etc.
He wanted a gun like mine, a Kimber. Told him not necessary and he could buy 2 or 3 for what I paid. I also have Springfield XD which he liked.
There was only one gun in his price range available, a Glock 19.
We put it on hold and rented a Glock 19. He felt comfortable with it and bought the one on hold.
Put couple hundred roundd through with no failures.
