Best Pistol For First Time Owners: The GLOCK 17 GEN5




As a first time gun owner there are many options one can choose from. However, based on an overwhelming amount of research and years of gun testing and practice, the hands-down favorite semi-automatic pistol recommended for first time gun owners comes from the Glock series of pistols.

I’m fairly new to gun ownership. I’ve owned one for about 6 years for obvious reasons... you know, the 2nd amendment, plus I live in the US and things could get crazy sometimes. 

My first gun was a Smith and Wesson M&P Bodyguard 38 revolver. I recently decided to get another one after testing out some recommended guns. I chose the Glock 17 (Gen 5). I picked this gun because it’s easy to shoot. It has a well balanced weight to it, which helps with managing recoil. I found my target practice results were pretty decent without much effort. Compared to my revolver, this is a far better gun to use for reliability and accuracy. So if you’re in the market for a new all-round gun for legal personal carry or home defense, I highly recommend the Glock 17 G5 Pistol.
