I'm not new to guns, it'll be my first firearm purchase. I've used guns all my life. My father was a police officer and he let me shoot his Glock 40 a few times...and I really liked it.

However, since these are your first guns, I might be tempted to recommend a medium frame revolver like a S&W 686. Shoot light .38 Specials to start then move up to .357. Revolvers are simpler and are easier to "make safe" than a semi-auto. I'm NOT saying that a semi-auto is more dangerous than a revolver; I'm just saying that a revolver might be a better choice for someone new to handguns. |
