I'm not sure if anyone remembers any of my previous posts, but I have been thinking that I was going to go with a PK380 as my first autoloader. The first gun store I stopped at had several, and it fit perfectly in my paw. THEN, I realized how stupid the prices and availability of .380ACP are, and decided I should go with a 9mm.
So, when I started looking at 9mils I came across a used HK USP Compact at the nearest Gander Mtn for a reasonable $600 price tag. I returned to Gander Mtn and visited this gun a couple of times, each time picking the brain of a different employee about 9mils. Obviously I got different responses from each person, and I am now feeling lost about my upcoming gun purchase. PLUS, it is really F'n hard for me to remain patient because I can't wait to own my first autoloader.
So here are the rules:
1.) Cost effective
2.) Easily concealed, comfortable to carry
3.) Either big enough to be comfortable for excessive plinking, or extended mags
LOOPHOLE:
If suggested, I would be open to a home defense/range gun since I do not yet have my CCW... and then pick up a smaller carry gun after completing CCW.
P.S.
I already own a S&W Model 64 .38special
