I can't decide!!! I went to the gun store yesterday and saw sooo many things I liked. G19, G23, Rock Island 1911 .45 ACP, Para 1911 .45 ACP, Springfeild XD 9mm, XD .40 S&W. What do I get?
This will be my firstcenterfirehandgun, I only own a Colt SA .22 mag. I've shot an old .45 1911, Taurus 9mm(the Beretta copy), .357 revolvers(so recoil is not a problem) and I loved them all.
Now I've never shot a Glock, but the 19 fits my hand soo good, as soon as I pick it up the sights line up and it's right on target. I've also never shot the XD but it feels pretty good.
I don't need a bunch or bells and whistles either, but being able to attach a light would be nice.
I want this gun for home/vehicle defense, possible open carry, and fun at the range. I don't want to go much higher than $500, but I want a reliable gun with good stopping power. I want a good round but I don't want to spend a whole paycheck to go shoot at the range. Should I get a 9mm, .40, or .45? I'm leaning towards the .40 S&W or the .45 ACP.
Thanks alot!
