As im sure someone else has said already (im too lazy to read all posts)go to the range and rent a few handguns and see what you shoot best with. Then get it. I think a glock is a decent enough pistol, but thats my opinion. There are some problems with them though just like every other thing in the world. Its really about what you shoot best with and what you can afford. I would stick with the big names though: glock, walther, HK, S&W, etc...
