If someone asked me about Glocks I would suggest skipping the compact. I have big hands and I have a nice scar from the 9. I guess Glock employees are small people.
Well, Glock actually makes five different sizes: long barrel full size, full size, compact, subcompact, and ultra-compact...
The "compact size Glocks aren't bad at all in my opinion (like the Glock 23 or Glock 19). They're big enough for most people to shoot comfortable- I'm 6'1" with relatively big hands and I find them just fine.
The subcompacts are tougher for sure, and I struggle with muzzle flip with these. The ultra-compacts are kind of absurd at the range, and in my opinion are only good for REAL close and personal use.
I've taken many (advanced) classes where they have showed footage of people hit with a 9MM and continue the attack. Hit several times in a few clips. Crystal Meth the drug If I remember correctly.
I've seen those too...alot of times it's PCP (my dad, now retired, was a 33 year police veteran. He's got a few crazy stories about superhuman feats achieved by people high on PCP).
You do have a real legit point there- in my opinion, while you aren't going to stop someone like that instantly without a CNS shot regardless of caliber, the larger degree of trauma caused by multipe .40, .45, .357 ect hits are going to take their toll and after 10-30 seconds the person should have lost enough blood to go into shock and go down, whereas 9mm won't cause the same level of tissue damage.
The no safety was 1 of the reasons I wanted to buy a gun of my own I was carrying my dad's 38 and was scared having on my back down in my pants sometimes i'd sit down and catch the hammer on something and shoot myself in the ass lol
Well, all modern revolvers have a safety feature called a "transfer bar" that will prevent this from happening...
If it was a pre-60s era piece, then you might want to worry.
