My wife & I just got married & we're moving to Sedona, Arizona where my father in law bought us a house in his neighborhood as a wedding present. One of the things that he's insisting upon though is that I learn how to properly defend our property as he's a very big believer in firearms for self-defense. He taught my wife how to shoot when she was just a kid & she has her old .38 revolver waiting for her when we get there.
I, on the other hand, have always lived in New York & I've never fired a handgun in my life. But, my father in law plans on remedying that as soon as I get there & teaching me how to shoot. And, once I've learned properly he has an assortment of guns for me to choose from that he's going to give me. I don't know why my wife's .38 isn't enough but he wants both of us armed. So, I guess I'm going to have my choice between a .38 like my wife, a Sig Sauer something or other, a Glock & a "baby" Glock.
So, my question to you gentlemen is which one should I choose? I realize that I'll probably have to fire them all to see which one I'm the most capable with but if you had to make a suggestion based on the limited amount of info I've given you, which would you say is my best bet?
From what little I've read I like the idea of a Glock the best but then I've heard that they jam occasionally. Is that true or is it just a bad rap that automatics get?
Thanks for reading & any replies will be greatly appreciated. Peace.
