Thanks guys. My sister is also looking at a gun for defense and she shoots left handed so I've been looking for options for her as well. I think I'm just going to go with a 9mm but I'm going to check out a couple 1911 .45s as well.

I own a 9mm Glock 19.... as stated it doesnt have a safty...however.. alot of the holsters avaliable , like the one i own...has a safety built in. you slide the gun in and the holster locks around the trigger gurd.. and when you reach to grab the pistol... your finger naturally falls onto the release. Something else to consider.

The biggest thing I have against a 1911 is that I've seen them in 9mm but I want one in .45 which is expensive ammo. I haven't made up my mind for sure that for 9mm I'm going to get a Glock but it will probably be my first choice. I'll check the XDs, M&Ps, and others in the $400-500 range. I should be able to save up about that much by the end of the month. :c: ---AutoMerged DoublePost---

I realize the dangers of owning firearms, especially around children. I've had gun safety pounded into my head ever since my parents started letting me play with toy guns. I keep my guns unloaded and out of reach of children and when I buy a pistol, I will buy a pistol safe that it will be locked in at night, which will be the only time that it wont be on my hip. I plan on taking some training classes also.

I have to modify my previous statement. Right now I keep my shotgun loaded and in a corner of my bedroom. I can get to it quick but its not where my sisters kids can get to it. If you saw my room, you'd agree that it would be difficult to hide a gun in it. I live in an apartment so I can't make one of those hidden holes in the wall or anything fancy like that.
---AutoMerged DoublePost--- What is the difference between the XD and XDm? I don't know enough about them to see any difference. |
I'm not sure about the differences on the XD's. As far as the Glock, you'll be good with the Serpa. That's what I use for my Glock. On the Glock, three things have to happen before it will go off. Meaning there are three different safety mechanisms in the gun. If you haven't checked Springfield's site yet, here it is..
Springfield Armory I didn't find any hard info on the differences between the XD and XDm. My main pistol is a Kimber Pro Carry II. It's a 4 inch with a Hogue wrap around grip and night sites. I really like it. You can pick those up for around $600ish. |
I love the two glocks i have(17&26)< the 26 is what i c/c, and about them not having a safety, a glock has what is called a safe action trigger so its kinda like on safety all the time in a way

Its 3 oz heavier and everything else is pretty much just like a glock. |
