Handgun for First Time Buyer
Andrewsarchus replied to Andrewsarchus's topic in New Firearms Owners Corner
Thanks again, everyone, for all of the feedback. I took the First Steps Pistol Course and it was DEFINITELY worthwhile. Afterwards, I decided to shoot a bunch of the 9mms I had already shot, and I definitely had a different experience with each gun now that I had some idea what I should be doing. I ended up liking the VP9 the most during my most recent shoot around, so I think I'm going to go with that. Now I just need to figure out what else I need to buy once I actually have the gun itself. Also, I'm picking up my FID card and permit tomorrow, so it should be a good day! -
Handgun for First Time Buyer
Andrewsarchus replied to Andrewsarchus's topic in New Firearms Owners Corner
Thanks for the feedback everyone. It definitely seems like a good idea to get some basic instruction before making a final decision. Has anyone taken a class or lesson somewhere that they would recommend? -
Thanks for the greetings everyone! I did apply for my handgun permit, but I'm very undecided on what to get. On the other hand, I'm hoping to get either a 686 Silver Pigeon or a Browning Citori as soon as I get my FID card.

Hi Everyone, I'm looking for some help in picking out my first handgun (9mm). It will be a range gun that I can use to (hopefully) learn how to shoot well. I'm still waiting on my FID card, but I've been to RTSP quite a few times and shot the following: HK VP9, HK P30, Walther PPQ, Sig 229, Sig 226, S&W M&P9, Glock 19, Beretta 92FS, Beretta Px4 Storm, Springfield xD, FNS-9, and CZ-75. I am a very inexperienced shooter with zero training, but I definitely liked the P30 and PPQ the best. The P30 was amazingly comfortable, and I definitely had my best groups with the PPQ. Is there anything I should know about reliability or customer service or something along those lines to steer me towards one or the other? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Hi all, I just wanted to introduce myself and say that I'm new to the forum and to shooting in general. Here's hoping I won't have to wait too long for my FID card! I'm from North Jersey and have shot at Thunder Mountain and RTSP.
