Hey guys,
I'm new to handguns, but not new to guns in general (Mossberg 500A is my go-to).
I have been to almost 10 gun shops in my area, and have done hours of reading on the net about the kind of gun I want and what are the proper ways to go about choosing one.
I have foregone the revolver simply for the fact that I like slimmer guns. I also have foregone the .40 and .45 cal simply for the fact that I love to shoot and I dont want to blow my college savings on ammo, so i'm sticking to 9mm....
From what I can research, and without shooting either, I have come up with 2 choices. I am looking in the sub-$500 range.
Taurus 24/7 Pro 9mm
Ruger SR9
I belive that both are fantastic guns, and the Ruger/Taurus is the only one that fits PERFECTLY in my hand. Glocks, HK's, Kimbers, XD's, XD-M's all fit like a brick in my hand.
Without shooting either (still working on that), would these be some good guns to start off my new hobby with?
