Great, now you'll have to trade that for an XD9 the next time you hit red box.
Hilarious!!!!!!
So, I'm new to the gun "buyer" club as well. Obviously, a lot of the people on this thread are Glock owners. As such, I was hoping I could possibly get some clarity on this. What is the appeal of a Glock? I'm not saying its a bad choice or a good choice. I just don't know. They are obviously a popular firearm, so there has to be something about them that everyone gravitates to. I just want to know, why should I spend my hard earned money on a Glock as opposed to a Walther or a Kel Tec?

you made probably the smartest choice for a first glock in my opinion. stay safe, have fun. congrats on the new weapon.
PlinkKing,
Couple if things led to the Glock for me.When I started looking I was all revolver--simplicity and no concern about performance issues. Also, mourdock a semi was. "supposed" to be metal and look like a 1911.
After spending a ton of time lurking on here the plastic guns started to grow on me. I went in and held the Glock, and m&p, ruger, and kahr. The Glock felt the best for me. I liked the meatier body than on a few. The big factor was their known reliability and the speed and ease of take down and cleaning.
I think personal preference in feel is huge. The it is going to be your gun and you have to like how it feels in your hand.
Good luck making your own choice, and I'm not sure there is a wrong one.

Time proven reliability, easiest tool-free takedown out there, very accurate, lightweight, high-capacity mags that are not only plentiful and interchangeable between same calibers but also easy to find along with reasonably priced. There's more but that's the main things that came to mind. My G17 Gen 4 has 1000 rounds put through it w/ zero failures. I carry it everywhere I go, I trust my life and my loved ones lives with it 24/7.
Same here for my Glocks. Wasn't a fan at first, but then eventually got to shoot one and fell in love. The ultimate reliability, accuracy, ergonomics, (for me at least,) and simplicity are hard to beat. Plus, its the gun that something like 50% of the worlds police forces, (estimating here,) use, so its obvious that lots of people in lots of places have evaluated these critically, and they have come out on top.
