RE: 5'9'' - 125lbs lady needs a 9mm?
 

Yes, I know how to load a pistol, the slide will be cocked back, and you slip in the magazine, and then you pull back the slide, let it forward, and then, shoot, or turn on the safety.

I'm just saying, that my grandpa's 9mm, when you pull back the slide, the slide pushes the hammer into the firing position, which I'm not that crazy about. The 9mm my grandpa has, also has a safety feature on the trigger guard, kinda like the safeties on BB guns.

I have never handled a Glock, so I guess when I go to the gun store I should see how it works, I reckon that's the simplest way.

Won't be headed to the gun store for awhile, though, since I am still paying debt for my rifle, don't need anymore temptation,lol.

Sorry to stir the pot, but I don't see how if I get more years under my belt, that that would give me the right to make silly statements, anymore than what I have now.

If someone would give me a link or something to how a Glock works, that would be appreciated, but I don't know that such things exist.

The Taurus 40 S&W, you load it, but the safety is on the slide.

The safety in the trigger is pulled when pressure is applied to the trigger, to fire you just keep pulling. If you don't depress the center or safety trigger then the main trigger will not move. Every shot with the Glock is like firing a revolver double action. Every pull is the same weight. It takes some getting used to if you are familiar with more conventional pistols. I like the Glocks and have owned all of the full size ones. I would prefer a slide mounted safety but they work as evident by their popularity with Police Departments. If it were my first pistol and I wanted an Auto, I would buy a Ruger. Cheap and dependable. Overall I prefer a good revolver in 357 or +P 38 Special.

Thank you to everyone for their great comments. I purchased a Glock 19 and I love it. Where can I post pics of me shooting on the site?

RE: 5'9'' - 125lbs lady needs a 9mm?
 

Right here will be fine.

No offense meantYounggun308. Just didn't have time to explain it all, and I know from experience that nothing beats going to the store and handling one yourself, or going to the range and talking with folks who own them. Glad you got your answer.
