Ill tell you about Glock in general, outstanding, lightweight, very concealable, accurate ot of the box, and most of all RELIABLE!!!. I have six other pistols for carry porposes that sit in my safe, all I carry is my Glock 30 45acp. I would not recomend it for the novice though, I would recomend a snub-nose 38 or an auto with a manual safety, after one learns that there is only one real safety " well really two, your brain and index finger" then I would get a Glock. At 399.oo I would go ahead and snag it up, good price with nite sites.
