I would get a revolver first. Master it. Then move to semi-auto. GLOCKS are reliable. But can go bang at the wrong time if a round is up the pipe. More than one cop has shot himself or his car door when exiting.

I have a 26. Pinky finger hangs loose. Grip extensions can sometimes cause "pinky pinch." Not pleasant. Takes time to get used to holding for proper hits. But I dealt love it....

Post 23 is spot on.

"GLOCKS are reliable. But can go bang at the wrong time if a round is up the pipe. More than one cop has shot himself or his car door when exiting."

Is this phenomenon an aspect of the Glock or the retention holsters many cops use? I have heard that using the trigger finger to push the release on the holster as you draw has a tendency to put the finger inside the trigger guard as the gun leaves the holster. Having used a type 2 retention holster (Blackhawk) I can see how this would be the case.
