[QUOTE="JD_2001_svt, post: 4864729, member: 42589"] First of all, what do you want out of a gun? Defense or just to shoot as a hobby? Answer that and it will help. You do not need a CCW unless you intend to carry in public. Kimbers are known to be of the most accurate hand guns made. They are frequently used in matches. However, that kind of accuracy doesn't mean much in most self defense scenerios. Yes, those are bullet sizes. For self defense go with a .38 at a minimum. A .40 s&w is a great round for defense and is reliable in most guns. Check out a glock in .40. Superbly reliable gun with decent accuracy. With a handgun, you don't really need much accuracy anyways as they are close range weapons. Also look at springfields XD series of guns. Same price as a glock and just as reliable and sturdy. Those are all autoloaders. If you want a revolver, check out a 4" ruger or s&w in .357 magnum for self defense. Last but not least, 1911 is a style of gun that most every manufacturer has copied. I know some will disagree with me here, but MOST of them are not known to be the most reliable guns, and reliability is what counts in a defense weapon. Here's some you should check out: Glock Springfield XD Series Sig Sauer Beretta If you have the money, look at getting an HK usp. Amazing guns, but a little pricey. If you want home defense, just get a good 12 guage with an 18" barrel. Nothing beats a shot gun for home defense. On a final note, guns are addictive like cars. You will be left wanting more, increasingly powerful guns. Oh yeah, PLEASE learn propper gun safety techniques as well. [/QUOTE]
