My brother has been wanting a gun for a long time, but money is short for him (22 year old college student). We're thinking about going in with my parents on a gun for him.
Like most dumb kids looking for their first gun, he wants a hoss. He spends too much time looking at DEs. I'd like to get him something he can take to the range - and carry. Although I wanted him to take an interest in revolvers for his first gun, he only seems interested in autoloaders. So, that's what we will buy him. I want him to take an interest in shooting, regardless of my own preferences and ideas.
Our budget is $300-400. Obviously not enough to buy a Glock. But, there are a lot of guns for that price range on Bud's and a few at my local gun store.
What do you guys and gals suggest?
