Yes, comfort is important to me as others have said, i will be in summer clothes all year round.
I like the glock because of it's trigger safety and ease of use. The XD also has the same thing now i believe and is a reloliable model.
What else should i consider(brands)? I have small hands so gotta keep tjat in mind.
I will be hitting the local ranges and renting different models to see what i feel is comfortable for me and the old lady, as others have recomended.
