Your only concern now is that it will miss its family members. So you should consider picking up a Model 20 Gen 5 to keep it company and to have on hand for hiking in the Cascades after the Feds reintroduce the Grizzlies. :s0155:

Welcome to the wonderful (and expensive) world of firearm ownership! The sooner you can get into a basic firearm safety course the better off you'll be - stops any potential bad habits from forming.
 
i'm glad i made a good choice, but why do you say that?

i got it because i heard it was cheap and reliable, but why else is it a good choice?
Reliable goes a long way.

Comparing it to an equally viable carry option, the Sig P365, the glock is less snappy, is equally reliable. It's easy to break down & clean. Imo it's a joy to shoot it. Like the Sig, Fairly good accuracy can be achieved with it. It seldom requires cleaning. It'll take a broad range of 9x19 bullets.

You could go w the Sig instead but if you're ok w the 43X's slightly larger dimensions, there's no better carry piece.
 
Scope: very small, in order to qualify. Some carry full size pieces. I am not including those.
If talking about very small I woudl much rather carry sig p938 personally. Much better trigger and easy to shoot well for a small gun imo.

Blanket statements such as "there is no better carry gun" are only true for that individual saying it and are better avoided imo.

Welcome. First thing to do before anything else is learn the four rules of gun safety and never, ever, break them.

Great video (great ascot, lol) and a welcome reminder. I make all first-time shooters that go out with me review the 4 rules of gun safety and work diligently on the range to ensure they're maintaining trigger discipline and not flagging everyone. My wife was the worst with her flagging.

Before you spend $ to upgrade anything, put 500-1000 rounds through it and get some professional training as mentioned above, to get to know the ins and outs. YMMV, but it's a solidly reliable platform.
 
Yesterday I went to Wolfcreek Rd. lane 4. The young couple offered to share it with me. The woman appeared to be a newer shooter. They had an impressive target setup pistol and shotgun about 15yds out.

It was very muddy in the target area. The guy was very patient and supportive, explaining every step and complementing her results. She had a perpetual grin eventhough it was 30 degrees or bellow. I forgot my gloves and wasn't having much fun myself.

I didn't chat much with them because I was not really set up for the conditions and left after I reconfirmed my zero on a few guns. Well, best I could with shaky hands, but that was text book on working with new shooters. I did ask as I usually do, if they were part of NWFA. They were unfamiliar with it.
 
Welcome! Asking advice on this forum is getting off to a good start. After safety. I say don't cheap out on ammunition - find something that works and stick with it. Others may disagree, that is fine with me.
Good luck.
