[QUOTE="RedTape, post: 804146, member: 66"] There are lots of great guns out there. Go to a range and rent a bunch to see what fits you. Basically you'll need to decide between a revolver vs. a semi-auto. Revolvers are typically considered a little more reliable and feel/point very well. However, they have limited capacity (most are 5 or 6 shots) and they are slower to reload. Semi-autos are, for the most part, just as reliable as revolvers, but can be a little more picky on ammo. They typically have higher capacity and are faster to reload. Either way, but a quality brand (S&W, Ruger, Glock, Sig, HK etc.) lots of ammo and spend time learning the weapon. Don't get too much gun! Some people will say get the biggest gun you can handle. If you can, start out with a .22lr. Learn the basics, and work up to something like a .38 spl or 9mm for self defense. It's much easier to learn proper shooting techniques right off the bat, rather than developing bad habits and trying to break them later on. [/QUOTE]
