Johndoe: Thanks for the offer to let me shoot your guns! I'm in NM so its a bit of a drive for me... But If I'm in NC anytime soon I'll get ahold of ya. On the shotgun question: I have a shotgun (dads old one) with a broken slide, the actual loading/ejecting mechanism isn't broken, but the wood...
Awesome Cosmoline, thanks! It makes a great deal of sense and a range day will definitely be on my list of things to do soon!
Also johndoe1027: checked out the forum and has lots of support. I'll keep the MP in mind!
Get to the range
Darjo and cosmoline. Good advice. Thanks! I hadn't thought about going to the local range to fire some of these guns. I will look into doing that sometime soon!

I will check out those p111 pros the next time I am in the local shop. I looked at some pictures of them and they appear to be a smaller gun, good for CCW. My problem with that is that I have BIG hands (as noted by my friends). Admittedly, I still say the big-grip Glocks don't feel...
Possum
Cool! thanks for the info on the streamlights. I've checked them out just a little bit online and they look solid with god reviews. I'll think about this for the future because this will be my home defense gun.

You guys ROCK!
First of all, thank you all for your replies. Only the second day up and I've already received a wealth of information! Every single reply has been great.
Side note: I most likely will be purchasing a semi-auto, and not a revolver this first time around.
Harry Paget...
Just wanted to start this thread to get some information and Ideas on what caliber/brand handgun people think is a good buy for a first handgun.
Over the Weekend I checked out a friends new FNP-9 (sexy with a Glock brand tactical light/laser combo on the rail!) and I really liked the feel and...
I am fairly new to the rifle scene having only ever owned a .22, I have however fired a fair range of calibers. I would like to get set up with a target/varmint gun and am wondering what the best deal or value would be? Also what is the most versatile round?
