My wife has recently learned to appreciate the simplicity, accuracy, and reliability of my Glock 30 (sub compact .45 acp). She actually did very well with it the last time we shot. Glock simplicity is great for someone who already understands and practices safe handling but I don’t think it is appropriate for a beginner. A beginner should have a thumb safety and a loaded chamber indicator.

Training a beginner to always treat a gun as loaded and ready to fire is not a bad way to start.

1. ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.

2. ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.

3. ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use.

? Our glocks each have a loaded chamber indicator.

Bah! Why risk the dangers of a Glock when you can just carry a rape whistle, keys in between the fingers, a stun gun, a buddy, and refusing to fight back </sarc>
