Seems like a lot of you are saying the .357 is a good reliable choice. Obviously easy to navigate halls with it to.
How are glocks? and how pricey and reliable are they?

My glock has never jammed. I've put thousands of rounds through it, and my girlfriend shot it with no limp wrist jamming at all. Glocks are great guns

Jesus, the insecurity in this thread and forum is gigantic. The glock jamming due to limp wristing is a known issue and since this is supposed to be someones first gun without proper shooting technique it could be an issue. Light frames have a drawback.

I personally don't get the obsession with AR's. The open gas system on M1's, even mini 14's and 30's is far more reliable and if you're building the thing already accuracy shouldn't be an issue as well. The mini 14 with a har-bar I'd put within a 1/2" of a decent AR any day of the week if we're talkin .223 and clean it 1/2 as much. All for around $500
1. Ergonomics
2. Accuracy
3. Modularity
Not saying the Mini 14 is junk, but it's just not in the same league as an AR. Also IIRC, the Mini 30's will not feed steel cased x39 ammo. So you're actually better off with an SKS or AK in that situation too.

Let's see where the AR platform has the Mini 14 beat...

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Glock's. They are well proven guns with extremely hi quality-control. You have to spend twice the money to get a semi-auto you could honestly say was better.
Personally, I've never liked the feel of Glock... grip angle is wrong (for me) and the trigger feels notchey. But that's personnel preference. I like the Springfield XD's feel better myself; but the design is very similar.
