I've been considering buying a handgun lately and I'm not quite sure what to get. I grew up shooting shotguns and rifles but wasn't around sidearms as much. Here's basically what I'm wanting:
- The gun will be used primarily for target shooting and ranges rather than just home protection, so I'd like something with a little more accuracy since it will actually get some use.
- I know the ammo is a problem on some types, especially 9mm right now. I've got an opportunity to purchase a never-fired Glock .40 with two extra magazines for a great price, but I'm not sure if that's the right one for my needs. I've heard .40 ammo is much easier to come by these days.
- Something fun to shoot, comfortable, but if I ever needed it for home protection, it could still get the job done. Not too worried about it being concealed because I won't be concealing this one.
- I'd prefer a slide rather than a revolver.
If you guys could point me in the right direction towards some particular brands and models or let me know what you use that'd be great.
