To each their own. Buy and shoot what you like. Carry or don't carry. It is up to you and, so far, we live in a somewhat free country.
I always liked GLOCK pistols (Back east and out here.), very specific S&W handguns and Ruger single action revolvers when it came to CF and RF handguns.
The GLOCK 19 was my first gun (Late 90's - NIB - Bought back east.) and I shot it well from the gitgo too. Even as a Newbie. I used my late husband's sweet d/a revolver as a 'house gun' before I got my own first gun.
My MT husband and I have owned several Glock 19 pistols. NO issues whatsoever for him or me EVER. We do not have anything in 9mm any longer. I am NOT knocking 9mm when I say this.
He carries a Glock 45acp (G30SF) and a Glock .380 (G42) on a regular basis depending on where he is going and what he is doing. Sometimes he carries his Beretta too.
He does not carry his somewhat newer Ruger s/a revolver (22lr) yet but he does shoot it.
He has NEVER regretted what he owned, carried (Open or concealed.) and shot in all of his Glock pistols and I did not either. That goes for his and hers other firearms.
He is more careful with his hand/wrist issues now due to an injury, age, old work issue, etc. So even though he changed a LOT of handguns around - no longer owns or shoots them... he is VERY HAPPY with his Glock pistols.
I only shoot specific rifles now and NO handguns at all. If my hands were not messed up - I would still own and shoot ALL of my former handguns. The GLOCK 19 is a very reliable pistol and it POINTED naturally for me just as my former SWEET d/a and s/a revolvers did in other styles, brand names and calibers.
And I thought and STILL THINK that the GLOCK pistol in basic black was/is PRETTY just as much as my other beautiful firearms were in wood/metal. I thought of it as a basic, pretty little black dress with a strand of pearls. Uh huh.
Your mileage may vary - NO problem. To each their own.
I would suggest what I previously owned in firearms to ANY Newbie at a younger age AND as a Newbie lady as I was in the late 90's - I was in my late 40's at the time.
