I have a few handguns, Alex. If you're definitely going with an automatic, Glock has to rank at the top of the list for reliability, although in that aspect revolvers still have the edge. By "large Glock" I assume that you're referring to the 17, and that would be a fine choice if concealed carry wasn't a primary consideration. At the range you might also try a Glock or other in .40 S&W, which has a bit of an edge for self-defense use.
