Any suggestions for a pistol for a guy thats never shot before?
whats a good first gun?
Not trolling at all, serious inquiry, help a breh out.
9mm glock, m&p shield, or springfield xd. Try to find a range that rents guns and see which of those you shoot best with. The longer the barrel the better the ballistics and easier it is to aim, don't get caught up in seeing how small you can go despite them tending to look cooler.
Whatever you get, learn to keep it properly cleaned/lubed, and feed it quality ammo. Every gun is different so you'll have to experiment with several different types before settling on which works best in it.
What's your intended use? Do you plan on carrying or just keeping it for home defense?
