I don't really like glocks, got my eyes on a Sig P239 Enhanced Elite 9mm, but also kinda like the Berettas for not being a burgerland company, any other brands I should be looking at, whats the least chuddiest company, I looked at the HK site and my god, they have American flags everywhere and MAGA sales.
ETA: Im in 'Commiefornia' so any gun suggestions should be able to be sold here.
There is a clear spectrum where safety and utility are opposed. A safe gun is a toy. There is no way to have a gun as a useful tool and be safe. They are very useful tools for what they are for they just don't make situations any safer. I don't own a gun myself simply because I don't want to spend the time and anger managing the risks as like you said there is no real benefit to me in my suburb
