So I've been a user for quite a while, but I've recently been inactive. I'm getting ready to finish my last year of college for my criminal justice degree, with a focus on executive protection. While talking to my advisor the other day he asked me if I had any firearm experience. I have hunted in the past but no experience with a handgun. He reccomended I purchase one and have decided to thus look into it. Of course I have no idea what I am looking for, so I'm coming here to get some advice.
I'm a pretty big guy, 6'1" and I'll be about 250 when I get to my working weight, so I can handle a larger gun, but I don't know what's good and what's not. I know that I want something practical (preferably not a revolver) that's reliable and also at a competitive price.
Naturally I'm open to suggestions, so any help is greatly appreciate.
