Is the glock a comfortable gun? It looks rather wide and bulky compared to some of the others? I think I'm starting to want a 1911 though

Go find a store and put one in your hands. I hated glocks until I started shooting them.

Glocks are very comfortable, even moreso with a Hogue grip.

That taurus is a copy of a beretta. They are made using the same dies, presses as bert is, however I find the quality of them not to be a nice or smooth. I would pass on a taurus semi, might consider their revolvers.. I will always say to check out a SIG, that is by far my fav gun, gun that I own,sig 229 in .40 cal. I found I shot the best with it, out of the other guns I shot.. But it will run you more then 500 buks... Go shoot a bunch of diff guns, get the one you feel and shoot the best with.. Thats the only real way to go IMO

Dont know when you turn 21 but Im coming up to Coreys in a couple months, you can shoot my pistol if you want. Either way for target ammo blazer brass is awesome, shoots a little dirty but its CHEAP.

Not sure really, but I just searched texas in wheretoshoot.org and came up with this:

http://www.wheretoshoot.org/Find_Ran...subresults.asp

This filtering the search for places that rent handguns and allow you to shoot. I don't know your exact area... but this should give you a decent place to start with lol
