Purchasing my First handgun/ New to forum, looking for advice/opinions etc.

Hey guys,
wow, nice to come back and see all this info and feedback on my post. unfortunatley I havent been able to reply due to ridiculously ravaging storms that totally F*&^ed up my city and the surrounding towns. I have just now gotten my internet working and everything back to some kind of normal in the house, finally at 11:45 at night. So I shall retire for the night and return a more detailed post following. However I will say this, Im sure one day I will get a .22 solely because they ARE just so much damn fun. you can take them out and shoot a thousand rounds for cheap, the gun is cheap, easy to practice mechanics with and all that. First gun tho? No. My first gun as I stated before will also be the pistol I rely on for home defense. Ive been thinking about it everyday and I think Im going to be very satisfied with a 9mm.

Thanks for the replies and I will follow up after some much needed sleep.

I voted for Sig Sauer. I'd look at the Sig Pro SP 2022 with Sig Lite night sights. A used Sig P226 or P229 would be sweet too. I'm also a fan of the P239.

I would suggest looking at CZ too. The 75B and SP-01 are fantastic full size handguns with some of the finest ergonomics in the industry.

A used Browning Hi Power would also make a sweet first gun.

Good luck. Good hunting. Be safe.
