Rest assured, I'm not the type to dick around with guns. To be honest, I don't even particularly enjoy shooting at the range. Ideally, I'd just make a couple purchases and these bad boys just sit in a safe in my closet for the rest of my life. If I'm lucky, I'll never have to bring them out except to clean them.
I have held a few glocks but I've never shot one. They feel cheap to me. Like they're toy guns or something.
The glock 19 is the most popular handgun, though, IIRC. I'll consider it.

If you feel this way, why bother? If you're not willing to train and practice, you've basically rendered the gun useless at best and dangerous to yourself and others that you don't plan to shoot at worst. And if you're not willing to pull the trigger when the need arises, all you've got in your hand is a $600 paperweight. At least until it's taken away from you.
We all have the right to own guns, but they're not for everybody. I gave a Glock 19 to my FIL for Christmas a couple of years ago, but it wouldn't surprise me if he keeps it in a box in the attic with his .22. He's never expressed any real interest in shooting it or learning how to properly use it. I probably should have just gotten him a sweater and kept it for myself.
