New to the site and gun world. Need some advice/opinions

[dotfortune]

I'm getting ready to buy my first handgun. I'm torn between the Glock 17, Glock 19, Sig Sauer P226 and Beretta 92FS. I'm going to go shoot them all in the next week or two, but I would really like to hear everyone's opinion to help me put. Oh and this is going to be for home defense as well as taking it to the range.

Hey there!

You and I are in the same boat. My research thus far pretty much echoes everything that's been suggested in here, though I've pretty much settled on trying to find what are probably some of the more difficult firearms to get your hands on right now, the G19 or CZ75 (ideally, the PCR, though I'd be happy with the P-01). That being said, that's what I've settled on for centerfire...

I'm surprised that no one's suggested any .22LR handguns. I know that you've said that you've settled on one of the 9mms, but I feel with it's worth mentioning at least. Good luck, have fun and be safe.

I would add the G34 and springfield XD to that list. But if fit, feel and accuracy are right, any gun will do the job.
