Evening gents.
Active duty Marine here, stationed on Pendleton. I've been reading the forum for a while doing research and finally made the move on a new Glock 19 tonight. This is my first personally owned firearm, but I've got a bit of prior shooting experience. Standard yearly rifle and pistol qualification, but mostly aircraft machine gun (GAU-17/A minigun and GAU-21 .50 cal.) shooting. I'm chomping at the bit right now to pick this thing up... 10 days is too long!
The biggest advice I'd like right now is regarding ammo and a light. What would you all recommend as a home defense round? What do you generally shoot at the range? Also, I'd like a light to mount for low light home defense situations, but don't really know where to start.
I'd like meet up with other North County folk and go shoot if anyone else is interested.
Any advice is appreciated!
And finally, I'll post a picture before you all start asking haha.

You may want to re-post your questions in the handgun section. Don't be surprised if you get answers like .40, .45 and 12 GA on the ammo question, its a gun forum thing, you'll get used to it.
