I posted in this #53 in 2017. After reading through all the posts up to this point. My opinion is still the same. Just to add, in this forum most if not all are shooters with some experience. Some with only a gun or 2 and others with many. Some with real insight into the current CCW handguns available. For a new shooter, I would suggest the easiest gun to shoot and get into action for that person. All that depends on the person and how they want to carry. They need to have a variety to handle and test. For those who have chosen any gun and holster. Without practice you will be slow and likely fail if that day ever comes when you need to pull it to use without the your brain telling your body what to do.
Develop the fine motor skills that allow you to smoothly get the gun ready to fire without thinking, just acting. Most of that can be done at home with a empty firearm. If the gun and holster doesn't allow that with basic training, change it up, maybe the gun, the ammo, or the holster and ask for help. Like shoes not 1 size fits all nor will flip flops work when boots are needed. I agree about gun writers, you can pick out biases of the writer. A lot of it is WHO supplied the guns, ammo and gear or what the writer is most experienced with in his or hers past.
