Hello everyone. I've been lurking here for a week or so just absorbing information. This is my first post.
A little background on what I'm looking for. I recently turned 21 and have decided that I would like to purchase a handgun. I received a Rossi revolver for Christmas, so a semi-auto becomes the default choice. I want a good quality semi for under 600, under 500 being the sweet spot. I have taken my concealed carry course, but I have not sent my paperwork in for a permit nor do I plan on doing so anytime soon, so I'm not concerned with being able to conceal it. This will strictly be a gun that I can fire at the range. If I become very comfortable with it maybe it will replace the Rossi on my nightstand. Im looking mainly for a 9mm, but I would consider a .40.
My only real restrictions:
-No Glocks
-No 1911's
-I have small hands and am most comfortable with a trigger reach of 3 inches, max. To give you an idea, the CZ-75 feels just a tad long for me. I can use it just fine, but its not very comfortable.
If that was your money, what would you buy?
I plan on handling and shooting as many guns as possible before I make a purchase, I would just like to narrow my list down some going in.
