Well, good on you for admitting you need (and are seeking) further training. I guess you never carried or stored a revolver for protection; these have no manual safeties. Yet, there is no internet phenomenon known as "wheelgun-leg" out there.
The Bersa Thunder 380 is a great choice for personal protection. I have one I carried for two years. As a trained LEO, I carried it with the hammer at rest on a loaded chamber, and the safety off. Even before entering LE, I knew enough that that's the way I'd have carried had I never been "on the job."
I only stopped carrying it because I came upon a good deal on a Kel-Tec PF9, which is lighter and easier to carry (and packs a 9mm Luger round instead of 9mm Short.) Oh, and the KT, like the revolver, has no manual safety. I still own the Bersa, though. It's a nice little gun.
If you like the Glock, keep at the training and familiarization. For whatever reasons, they do seem to have a bit of a learning curve for some people. The overall design (fit to my hand) just never grew on me. Until then, just go with what you know.
