I've been looking at getting a gun for self defense and for just shooting at the range, searching onliine has been kinda useless, I keep reading I should learn with a .22 instead. I kinda liked the glock 19 but some reviews say they are a bit big for chick hands, yet they are standard issue for a lot of police departments.
A friend recommended the Glock 42 which seems like the most interesting choice so far.
What do you guys think? So far I've only shot my shotgun, and a friends AR-15 and XD-S 9mm, I'll admit the last one was a bit strong for me, the recoil, probably just need some getting used to.
