GSSF?It would be hard to go wrong with any brand new 9mm Glock that feels good in his hands. Be advised that Glocks can be a little tricky to learn to shoot accurately. Many new right handed shooters will shoot low left. I can't overemphasize the importance of quality training and consistent practice, if the goal is to be competent with Glock. A really cheap way to get some good basic instruction on the fundamentals in a safe environment would be to join GSSF and come out to a match.
