Whats going on guys? I'm new to the forums and firearms. I'm looking at different options for my first handgun. I know at the very least I should get the gun in my hands before deciding, but a few opinions would be a great help.
>>Currently I'm torn between the Beretta Commercial M9 vs a Glock 19 Gen 4
1) So my biggest issue is that the Glock does not have any external safeties. Is this a good idea for a first handgun? Obviously the safety between your ears is the most important but as far as first handguns go is this gun a smart choice?
2) Whats up with the Gen 4's - I heard people having problems with failures to feed/extract- Picky with ammo??
3) If the Gen 4 isnt a good choice - Can you still buy the Glock 19 Gen 3 new in box?
4) I heard there have been issues with the M9 magazines running dirty. Opinions?
Main Point: Basically I want a handgun that will go bang when I pull the trigger 99.9% of the time. Something that is both reliable and durable. Something I can depend on that works no matter what kind of ammo is going through it. (cheap or expensive).
