PD2K 115 Posted November 21, 2014 Thanks again, everyone, for all of the feedback. I took the First Steps Pistol Course and it was DEFINITELY worthwhile. Afterwards, I decided to shoot a bunch of the 9mms I had already shot, and I definitely had a different experience with each gun now that I had some idea what I should be doing. I ended up liking the VP9 the most during my most recent shoot around, so I think I'm going to go with that. Now I just need to figure out what else I need to buy once I actually have the gun itself. Also, I'm picking up my FID card and permit tomorrow, so it should be a good day! Congrats!!! And you can't go wrong with the VP9...good luck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeteF 1,044 Posted November 22, 2014 Since you took the lesson (applause), you got a good start. Good (not necessarily expensive) Safety glasses and hearing protection. You only get one set of eyes and ears to last you a life time. Everything else can be acquired as time and money allow. And there is a lot of stuff. A range bag Cleaning Kit Stapler/tape Targets Ammo More Ammo Extra Magazines Magazine loader etc. Have fun, be safe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeerSlayer 241 Posted November 22, 2014 Thanks for the feedback everyone. It definitely seems like a good idea to get some basic instruction before making a final decision. Has anyone taken a class or lesson somewhere that they would recommend?Contact JFoster99 here on the forum. he is an NRA instructor, and I took his Basic pistol class. Good guy, excellent instructor. update: just read back and saw you already took the class. Good luck with your new gun once you get it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
