I have read much about them and watched plenty of videos watching other people shoot and talk about all the different models. For the first time in my life (don't laugh) I went to a shooting range and shot a handgun for the first time at age 62. I shot a used revolver I've owned for 20 years and had never shot, a Ruger GP100 and I chose 2 Glock rentals after all the info I have taken in about them, a 19 & 23. After 200 rounds, .38, 9mm, .40 & 357 mag, I have a new found hobby now. I'm hooked. I did love the Ruger and will be buying another revolver at some point, but I'm not sure which of the 2 Glocks would be the best choice. I have been told the 23 can shoot 9mm & 357 sig with a barrel swap, but do I need a 40 caliber at all or just be satisfied with the 19. Both guns felt similar in my hand and I liked the feel of them better than their full size brothers, 17 & 22. A 9mm Glock is much harder to find than a 40 caliber here in CA also, but they are around if you look hard enough. That has me puzzled as if there may be a reason it's more desirable. Any opinions and/or WISDOM will greatly appreciated by this newbee. Thank you ahead of time for any and all replies "Oh Mighty Weapon Masters."
