Hi! I am a new member; have been reading this forum for a couple weeks. I am a 21 yr old women who has been thinking about carrying a handgun for awhile. I live in Vermont and we've been seeing more and more crime lately. I'm also concerned about the state our country is headed.
I have had some practice with firearms, but am not extremely proficient at this point (used to be better when I was 12-15). I need to finda pistol range and/or rig something up in the field below our house to practice on. I own aTaurus .22 revolver (for hunting rats that terrorize my rabbits in the winter) and a Mossburg 20 gauge. I would not carry until I gotreally proficient at shooting exactly where I wasaiming.
I mentioned my thoughts to some friends and they both recommended a 9mm for me. They have experience with a lot of different firearms. One of them was (still is?) on the West Point Pistol Team.
So, my question is: do you have any recommendations on a good 9mm? I am looking for an affordable one (being a college student and all), but one that is reliable. One that I can go out and shoot for fun, butthat would be a good self-defensehandgun in the future.
