i hope i never get into guns to the point where i have 3 of the same gun. lol. so far the "must haves" i have laid out are at about $4k. im sure ill end up spending twice that over the years, just have to pace myself.
I just spent a few hours on this thread and i realized that i really wish i was 21 already...
lucky you! i'm just turning 20 next month -_- maybe I can get my dad to purchase and register a gun for me and give it to him as a gift, then give him the exact dollar amount in cash, as a gift. lol
When I was about 5, my dad bought me my first gun. A Smith and Wesson 357. I have loved that gun since the day I got it. I will have it until the day I die and will pass it along to my children

Does anyone have any advice for a first handgun? I'm really interested in starting to shoot more. I have rifles and shotguns just not any handguns. I have only really shot handguns once or twice, a beratta 9mm and 44 mag. I was thinking about just getting a cheaper .22 revlver just to get into shooting hundguns more? Just an idea though i would really like to hear some advice from the gun lovers in this thread.
I love my Glock and it was my Second Handgun. You interested in a semiautomatic or a revolver?
Also, what do you plan on using it for? Are you just going to go plinking or would you be getting your CCW and carry it for defense?

Have you repped someone helpful today?
Listen to suggestions, but take them only as suggestions. The very first thing you should do when deciding what handgun to purchase is to shoot them. Shoot your friends' guns. Go to the local indoor range and try out the different suggestions given to you. I didn't try out guns first and it cost me a lot more to find the piece I wanted. Trying out guns and finding what fits your hand best before you buy is the cheapest way to go about it.
I'm more interested in a revolver, I want to start simple and work my way up. I was thinking about maybe getting a .22 revolver and just using it for plinking then eventually getting simething bigger for home defense and maybe eventually getting my ccw
Start with a .38 revolver. Not a lot of recoil, and can serve dual roles. Ammo is cheap too.

I like this one because it can shoot .38 and .357 Magnum rounds, and the muzzle isn't so short that it becomes inaccurate, and not so long that it becomes difficult to handle.
This is what I currently shoot.
