There are a million answers here, and none of them are necessarily right or wrong. It is really a personal feel and preference that can only come from trying more than one gun, which it sounds like you have.
I am also one of those guys where the Glock does not feel right in my hand, but there are thousands of shooters competition every day with the Glock, so you will be fine.
Get a good holster, belt and mag pouches, and go have some fun! You don’t know what you don’t know, and the only way to see this is to shoot a bit, then the specific questions will come.
I also agree that steel shooting is the place to start.
Best of luck to you, and welcome to the madness!!!
I hear ya. I know it's all opinion based but that's what I wanted to hear was more experienced opinions. I gotta say the Glock feels a little thin to me compared to my 1911. I'm hoping this is rectified by some grip changing.
This Glock I bought is "used" but it wasn't shot by the guy that sold it to the shop, comes with a holster, extra mags, backstraps. I felt it was a good place to start with polymer.
