Pistol for now. I'm looking at something for personal protection. I'm not a hunter so I don't think a rifle or shotgun would be what I'm looking for right now, but I won't exclude them either.

I like glocks because they go bang everytime and there are no safeties. The compact ones feel a lot better in my hands than the full size. The S&W hands are nice also but sometimes need some things done to them to make them better.H22 Prelude VTEC 92-96 200 161 10.6:1 87 90 DOHC VTEC 2157 JDM

17 is standard size, 19 is compact and 26 is sub-compact. All have 5.5lb trigger, all are available in Gen 4,
I would look at the 19 and 26 for conceal carry.
9mm or .40 is for you to decide. I prefer a 9mm. The .40 has more recoil and takes more effort to keep on target, I'd rather find something in a .45 if I was going to go for firepower. IMO a .40 has more recoil than a .45. I don't like a .40. That's just me.
Here they have ranges where you can pay to try out firearms to see what you want/need. If you have something like that in your area I would highly advise it.Last edited by H311RA151N; 07-29-2014, 06:32 PM.

S&w or Springfield compact if you get the right one they're the same as glocks as far as safeties go. I love my xd subcompact. Never been to fond of the shields or xds. They're slimmer sure but a single stack mag isn't to appealing to me.
I wish I could trade my heart for an extra liver, just so I can drink more and care less.

Just went to the gun store...the guy recommended a Glock 19. I'd probably get the 9mm for accuracy, but I'd rather try out both. It's gotta be some rental place here in Atlanta, shouldn't be too hard to find.
They also had a S&W 500 Magnum...it's just overkill.Last edited by sonikaccord; 07-29-2014, 09:59 PM.

Glock 19 is awesome. My first Glock.
My GFs brother has a .460. It's a hand cannon.

If I was to get a glock I would get the .40 spend alittle extra get a 9mm conversion barrel and have best of both worlds. That's what I did with my wifes G27...H22 Prelude VTEC 92-96 200 161 10.6:1 87 90 DOHC VTEC 2157 JDM

For whatever this is worth. The Kahr pm9 is my daily, Glock27 is my wife's. And the colt new agent 3in is for a fun rotating piece or for double duty.
For fun.
