Looking for Some Input

[kineticpotential]

I'm new to the sport and the site. I'm newly in the market for my first handgun. I've shot several different ones and I liked different things about each.

I don't have a CCL, but I'm looking into possibly getting that taken care of in the near future as well. But for right now, I'm just looking for a gun to keep in the house. I'm comfortable enough around firearms where it seems irresponsible of me NOT to have something with which to protect my home.

I'm looking most likely at a 9mm. Of all the handguns I've shot, I felt the most comfortable and capable with 9mm. And while a larger caliber is impressive, for my money I feel like a 9mm is gonna get the job done just fine. But like I said, I'm new to all this and eager to learn more.

So I'm asking...what do you keep at the house? What do you carry? What are your favorite things about your gun? Anything that drives you nuts?

I have a Springfield XD 9mm for the house and range
carry a Kahr K9 also like Glocks
loaded with good 124 or 147 gr ammo should do the job

first a shoot gun is best house gun there is.......
but a nine mill is a nice round with a bit of a recoil..
most in house action is just point and shoot with very little time for aiming so become familiar with it.

Glock 19 if you want a 9mm.

If I could only own one handgun it would be a GLOCK 19. Dead nuts reliable, high capacity, compact 9mm. Great for carry and would be fine for home defense.

Im sure there will be plenty of different guns listed on here. I'll add my mine to the list. I carry a M&P 9mm c and have a M&P 9mm pro for the house. Best thing is just shoot your choices and go from there.

At the house - S&W 12 ga. pump - 18 in barrel

Carry - Glock G36 .45 w/LaserMax. Sleeved grip, adj rear sight.

Above are my favorites, I like them both a lot. Have others, Sig, Beretta. And an old H&R sixshooter

You should look into a glock 19. Its 9mm, small enough to conceal, and holds 15+1 rounds.
