Personally I would have gone with the 23 in 40 cal. I dont like 9mm very much, anyway. Make sure that you dont shoot your new Glock limp wristed. Women seem to have more probs with Glocks because of that limp wristed thingy. Glocks are light and you have to hold them rigid so they will cycle, that is the only prob with them (not really a problem). Try and shoot the barrel out of it hehe!
