The Glock 23 is a very fine choice in my opinion. One of the most reliable & durable handguns on the market (again, IMO). I had one for 5 years and only traded it towards a Sig239 to go a little smaller in size. My G23 only failed to fire 2 times out of several thousand rounds I put through it, and they were both crappy ammo with hard primers (Wolf ammo, if you're curious) .40 ammo is a bit more expensive than 9mm, but it's a solid round for self/home defense. Shoot the heck out of it and have fun. If you've never shot pistols before, get some education on it and on the laws for your state, it's important. The more you practice, the better you'll get with it & the more comfortable you will be with it which is very important.
