I am new to this forum, but I am turning the magic age of 21 in a few months allowing me to buy booze and firearms (though I'm not much of a drinker.) I've been around firearms all my life and I range shoot intown with rental guns, but I am a bit confused on what I want to get as my first pistol.
I am a bit biased since I like to shoot my fathers cheap Italian copy of a Beretta M92FS. the range I shoot at doesn't carry Berettas for rental guns, but they carry Sigs and Glocks. When I shoot I shoot a P226, but I don't like the feel of it as much as dad's handgun.
I am curious to know what most people here like and why. I'd prefer not to go Glock as I have known several people to have them blow up in their hands, and they look fugly.
I intend my gun to be able to CCW, but it is not necessary. It will be more for range and home-defense. If I lean toward a Beretta 92FS Inox (Stainless) is there customization options such as grips? What kind of reliability and ease of field stripping can I look forward to in it?
