Well, I'm turning 21 on Friday and I've been scouting around the local shops for a good handgun. I was hoping I could get a little input from you guys to help me make my decision.
I'm a college kid, so I absolutely cannot spend more than $400, preferably less.
I had my heart set on a .357 revolver for a while; I hadn't even considered getting a semi-auto (guess I'm old-fashioned) until the gentleman at the gun store let me handle a Daewoo DH40 and now I'm more accepting of the autos. My third option is a 9mm. There's a great-looking 9mm carbine I could get for cheap if I trade in my .22, so that's an incentive to get a matching pistol. I hear that the 9 isn't a very effective round, though, so I'm not sure about that.
Was that coherent at all? Sell me on what you like best of the three. Oh, and have a nice day.
