Just wanted to start this thread to get some information and Ideas on what caliber/brand handgun people think is a good buy for a first handgun.
Over the Weekend I checked out a friends new FNP-9 (sexy with a Glock brand tactical light/laser combo on the rail!) and I really liked the feel and balance of the gun. The price was also attractive. That being said, price IS an issue and I would like my purchase to be under the $500 mark. I wish I could have fired the gun but I was pressed for time.
Also, I like the availability and price of 9mm ammo, but would I be better served by purchasing a gun chambered in .45 or .40 instead?
This n00b appreciates any advice and help from the kind people on this forum!
