Hey guys i've been lurking here for about a month and I turned 18 back in march. I've decided that I would like to buy my first handgun for many reasons like self-defense, protecting my family, trying to be a better patriot, wanting to be a sheepdog instead of a product of propaganda, and wanting to show people that yes I am young, but that doesnt mean Im irrational or tooincompetent to open carry one. In order to aqquire the funds forthe handgun I sold my american strat for 525 bucks yesterday. Now i'm 6'0 225lbs, and im sure I can handle larger calibers, but for some reason the 9mm caliber just sticks out to me the most. Now i narrowed it down to 2 which a gunstore near me called the armory carries. Keep in mind I'm a lefty so this my dilemma. Do I go with the springfield xd9 or the glock 17 or 19 which while not as lefty friendly is simpler in that it doesnt have as many parts and doesnt have a handle safety. All I have is 525 bucks but besides those 2 are there any others I should consider?
