Oh, and I love glocks, but I would never suggest one to a begginer shooter. These are guns for experienced shooters in my opinion because of the trigger design. And the 92's are HUGE, I don't see either of them shooting one well. I am about the same size as your friend and they are just too big for my hand. And I don't feel they are any less complicated than a 1911 is. If they go with a handgun I suggest a medium frame revolver with an average length barrel. They are simple to use and understand and will pretty much go bang everytime you pull the trigger if they are loaded.
