A friend of mine wants to buy a glock for his first gun. He isn't currently a gun owner and has never shot a gun before, he's waiting for me to take him. It's main use would be home defense and possibly concealed carry, we are planning on taking the class together in a few months.
My question is whether a Glock is an intelligent choice for a first gun? I can help him learn to use almost any SA, DAO or SA/DA type semiauto with "standard" features as well as any revolver but my understanding is that Glocks have unique safety features like the safety in the trigger. I know nothing about Glocks except that the gunsmith at Gander Mountain doesn't recommend them as a first gun, that's why I'm asking.
