You really need to get your hands on as many as you can. Don't settle for one simply because it is cheaper. Glock is a great company and makes an excellent, safe, and reliable, pistol. You will not go wrong if you pick a Glock, that is if it fits your hand and feels comfortable to you. There are also many factory rebuilt or refurbished pistols that are available today. Some of the ones I haveseen, look almost new but have a pretty decent discount on them.
