Hello all!
The community here has been nothing, but awesome with answering my questions and I come ya'll AGAIN with another one. My dad is hellbent on buying a Glock since he has a ton of LEO friends. I've found great prices at my local firearms dealer for Glock 17 Gen 5's for $569 (which I find reasonable, despite not being a Glock guy myself though after holding it, I would love one!). However, I want to know honestly whether a Glock really is worth his investment and time. I know it will hold out over time, but is it worth it? I want to hear arguments on both sides as well as recommendations of decent quality handguns. He would be carrying it as well as using it for home defense. He is in Atlanta (downtown and Hartsfield) ALL the time and I would like something he can both hone his skills with as well as defend himself with.
Thanks guys!
