Forget the glock

glock is to quality handguns what mcdonalds is to quality food

the .45 ACP 1911 is decent as is the SIG-Sauer P225

The S&W and Ruger Wheel guns are good choices as well Go for a 3 inch barrel

Makarov is decent but parts can be a problem Makarov is known for being almost as reliable as the Sigs The Bersa Thunder is pretty well regarded as well

If you want firepower the desert fox .50 is a canon, if you can shoot it accurately and comfortably

No matter which handgun you buy nothing is a substitute for proficiency....practice practice practice. As a self defense weapon it should feel natural and the operation should be instinctive and that only comes with consistant practice.
