Don't flex with it, always check the chamber, always think of it as being loaded at all times, never point it at anything you don't intend to shoot.

Everything, @Dirty mentioned + learn how to field strip it at the very least so that you can keep it clean and properly lubed at all times. Pick up a bottle of FrogLube for cleaning and lubrication, along with some Hoppes #9 and a bore brush to clean the barrel. Also get some good hollow points if you're getting it for self defense. I like Ranger T non-bonded HP's, but lots of people go with Speer Gold Dots.

Here's the official gun owners thread.

Also, never assume your friends know anything about gun safety. I handed my brother in law my shotty once and the first thing he did was try the trigger..

I paid $500 for a used Glock 19 did I get ripped... My military buddy was kinda acting like I did, but my other buddy said nah...

You could have gotten a new one for a couple dollars more, but I think you got a fair deal. Glocks hold their value very well.

U got ripped for that used one unless the shyt hasn't been ran through a lot...

I hate 9mm tho.....but glock is built to last...I had a glock 23 kind of mad I got rid of it, cause it was 3 guns into one cause u can change out the barrel

I'm looking at getting a glock 20 or 29.. both are 10mm

9mm isn't the most fun to shoot, but it's a good weapon for self defense. Follow up shots are easy and bullet technology has made it so that the round can be a very potent pill if you choose the right ammo for it.
