    If you have particularly odd sized hands might be worth going to a gun shop and trying the feel of various pistols but otherwise--- get a glock 19 with this slightly sneaky coupon workaround.

    1. Fill out web form at https://user.gssf.pro/register/go with payment info
    2. Wait for coupon card to mail and search https://us.glock.com/en/dealer-locator-usa
    3. Take coupon, drivers license and down payment to dealer and wait for background check to clear and they can ship the model there
    4. (Bonus step) compete in GSSF competition for practice
    5. Buy streamlight tlr1 or modlite weapon mounted light, safariland or phlster holster and red dot to be milled by jagerwerks or other reputable company: holosun 509 model recommended!
    6. Practice with more OEM or pmags and pick up federal HST or speer gold dot for carrying

        glock 19 is, all other things considered, the go to standard: weapon mounted light is very necessary if you have any intention of using it at night(half the time): Holster is necessary for anything other than keeping it hidden in the house: red dot is critical for acquisition of good set of basic skills and is worlds better than irons: practice practice practice is absolutely essential if you're even remotely considering buying a firearm : best of luck
