I am looking to pick up a pistol here soon. Probably a 1911 but I want to go shoot a wider variety before I purchase.

I got a .357 magnum short barrel

There is already a gun thread .

I want to get one soon, but I have no idea where to even start looking, or what to even look for in a handgun.

Have you shot any type of firearm before? What do you want to use it for?

[Oxer]

If I had a gun I would shoot the hell out of people...

Lucky I dont have one eh?

Out. Now.

I don't have one yet, but within the next year I'd like to have my pistol permit.

I'd like to get a Kimber Pro Carry II or a Glock G19.

After I get out of school and have a steady job, I'd like to get a few more and just become a collector/enthusiast. I'd like to have an SKS, 870 Express, AR, and a few more hand guns.

I have shot one, but I don't know much about them. I shot a .357 Magnum snub revolver, but that's it. I liked it.

I would use it mainly for going to the range with, but they way things are going around my town, it wouldn't be bad to have as a form of self-defense... I just hope I would never have to pull it out.

If you just want a range gun, something in the 9mm form would be good. 9mm is a widely used round and is easy to find for a good price. As for pistols, there are many in 9mm. Glock, Springfield, Beretta, CZ, and the list goes on.

If you ever talk to any enthusiast, there is always the caliber debate. Many thing the 9mm is underpowered, too fast, yadda yadda yadda. All it comes down to is shot placement. Even if you use a .380 LCP or a 10mm Glock, two in the chest and one in the head is going to have the same effect.
