Hi all, my first post here, but I have been lurking for a while. Anyway, on to the issue.
I am 24 years old, and will be taking my CCW class in approx 3 weeks. I should have a couple freinds I have gotten interested in it along with me, but who knows. Anyway, with this, I have a difficult choice to make. I don't really want to spend a lot of money on several guns, but I am willing to pay for a quality one. What I was originally interested in was a Beretta 92fs, but I fear it will be too big/bulky to conceal on a regular basis. I will probably pick up one of these sooner or later, but I want to buy a good conceal weapon first. Am I correct, or will it be fine? My main style of clothes is a single t-shirt tucked or not, not really that baggy but I have lost ~20 pounds so all of my clothes are a bit too big atm.
I am pretty set on a 9mm since ammo isn't terribly expensive, but it still packs a punch.
Since I decided that it would most likely be too big for me, I started looking at other compact models, the compact and subcompact glocks I like, but the fact they have no actual safety on it makes me think it might not be the best choice. Glock 19, 26, and 27 are what I was looking at in this line.
Of course there is always the 92fs compact L, holds a lot less ammo, but other than that is that a good one?
Well after seeing these maybe you have a good idea of my tastes and can recommend something I don't know about, I have a while to purchase a gun, but the CCW class comes with a free month of range time, and I would also much rather qualify on the gun I will be using than a rental.
Price limit is about 500-600 max for the gun, gotta have some left over for holster, ammo, etc. The range I will be taking my CCW class at does offer rentals, but only berettas and glocks. So my experience is mainly limited to those 2.
