glock because they seem to have a 'bulletproof' reputation

Yeah, it is. I was very shocked the first time I came here (once I was old enough to really know that it wasn't a toy!) at 15 & saw them right next to all the fishing supplies!!! I thought, wow, in England, we use fishing rods, but hey, whatever!!!!!!!

I can't even count the amount of times my friends here have tried to talk me into having a few, when they know I'm driving home & they know my point of view on the matter. They just can't seem to understand that I don't drink & drive, I don't even bother with one, cuz if I got stopped it would be more hassle than it's worth.

Yes a Glock is one of the best ..my personal preference is the 19C but semi autos are not the best thing to have left loaded for long period...A lot of women have trouble pulling the slide back as well.. a revolver can be lighter and so much easier to use.. try all sorts before you decide ...
