    Ok....so to drift back to the thread question a little more background on me. I took the 3 hr pistol course (beretta 9mm semi used), a few misfires with this so I thought it stunk had a heck of a time locking this because of grip size) Ladies Day at guns for hire (semi 22 don't remember the make but just fired it did not load etc) My dad is a S&W guy so 357 revolver and 22 rifles when I was much younger. But have not gone shooting in close to 30 years,

     

    So now please remember I am a single mom and costs are a huge factor. I know you get what you pay for but I also know to zone in on what is important to "me" then make a decision. (AKA I buy used cars to get me from point a to b and are good vehicles but don't have all the bells and whistles)I may not need the Most expensive as a first firearm. But I do need economical, comfortable for me, good for home protection (my overriding want for a first firearm) and cost effective ammo cost so I can use often at the range....

     

    So I understand 22 is great for economical ammo but maybe not great for home protection if I ever need to use it

    9mm just ok for home protection and still pretty reasonable for ammo

    Now you all will probably laugh but when I research the glock 17 and glock 19 see some positives to costs, misfires etc but not "sexy"

    My dad says little lady just get a nice S&W 38 revolver (ahem...but costs)

     

    So if you all have time for further thoughts on above....and I do plan to attend the Cherry Hill...I asked someone at the Bullet Hole if I could rent before I buy and they said no. I am absolutely aware I need to try it before I buy so.

     

    So your further thoughts....

    Hi Everyone,

    Just found this forum today and looking to learn much from all. Waiting for FID but doing research for my first pistol.

    Went to the Bullet Hole for Ladies Day so had an opportunity to see the bullet hole and meet Anthony/Gunforhire.
