Well yesterday was the day that caused my week to go by ever so slowly. All of the anticipation built up from knowing that I was going to purchase my first handgun on Saturday. Although the day came and went, this is what I pretty much got from it:
I had the mindset that I was going to choose from three handguns; the XD 9, PX4 Storm 9mm, and the M&P 9. The thing that surprised me was although the XD was the most comfortable in my hand, I didn't like the way that it fired; disappointing. I kept shooting it lower than my target and to adjust wouldn't feel natural to me, so I marked it off my list.
Next in line was the PX4. I really fell in love with this gun quickly. I never thought that a handgun could fire so smoothly. The safeties were a nice feature to have, but not what I was looking for. Besides that, I knew that I shifted the firearm to the "Good" category.
Finally, to the all popular M&P 9. I was looking forward to getting some shooting time with this weapon. I liked not having to worry about safeties because I knew that I wasn't going to have a round chambered. Great accuracy.
After I finished off 250 rounds I felt confident about my decision and figured it was time to head to my local gun store and make a purchase. I went ahead and decided on the Beretta PX4 Storm 9mm. I loved the low recoil and nice reset that would allow me to place crucial shots to defend myself or loved ones. The adjustable grips are icing on the cake in my book, and what sold me. What I came to find out was that it is hard to find a holster to fit the gun for the small of my back.
So with that, I decided to go with the Heckler & Koch P2000 9mm and Triton HiVel 9mm +P 115 gr. JHP. What a fantastic handgun! Even better than the latter.
I instantly took it to the range and fired 100 rounds with no problems. I am really excited about this purchase and look forward to many hours at the range. Here are some photos of my first handgun.
