Anyone know any good guns for a first time owner? I was thinking about a glock 19 but im not sure yet.
Any suggestions?

Get one that fits your hand. If you have a grip you don't like, then that gun is not going to be the one for you. The two ranges I would suggest going to are Badger Guns and Fletcher Arms. I prefer Fletcher's as their customer service is a little better. I'm not sure about Badger, but Fletcher's does have an instructor (well, they allow him to be there, but he's not part of the company) that teachers you how to shoot. It's a 3 hour course that goes by quickly.
When did this happen?Badgers does not rent firearms anymore. :-(

I wouldn't think that would stop them from renting though. Fletcher's had that happen last year as well and are still renting. I do admit, I haven't been in Badger in probably over a year now, so I don't know what has all changed there.Last year when a guy rented a firearm and committed suicide in the range.
I forgot all about that .Last year when a guy rented a firearm and committed suicide in the range.

Go to a good gun shop and pick up and handle as many as they will allow. I carry and shoot a .45ACP 1911 in stainless steel.
I like the gun. I have big hands and am a big person. The smaller 9mm are lighter, but have a sharper kick, not unpleasant but different. A .357 wheel gun has a very distinct and sharp kick but manageable by most. The smaller and lighter the gun, the sharper and heavier the recoil or kick. The ole 1911 is a big, heavy gun and has a very manageable recoil.
Plus the cool factor, at least for me. It has history and is uniquely American. So much so that Utah is considering making it their state gun. Hat tip to John Moses Browning.
Smaller hands and smaller frames might appreciate a lighter, smaller gun.
Whatever you decide, Just make sure the caliber you choose is a threat stopper. .357, 9mm, .40, .45ACP.
