Thanks guys, as I said this will be my first gun but I know it won't be my last gun. I've heard the G19 gen 4 is one of the best all around 9mm's out. It's a bit plain looking but functions as it should all the time every time.

I have started the process for getting my firearms i.d. card. I'm getting fingerprinted tomorrow and i'm hoping everything moves along quickly from there. I've narrowed my search down to a 9mm. It seems to be a good all around gun for home protection with affordable ammo for range use. I'm looking for something quality that isn't too picky with ammo or quirky to use. I plan on going to Heritage Guild in Easton to get a better feel/fit for the different brands. I also plan on checking in to some of the safety classes they offer while i'm there. Are there any brands that I should absolutely avoid? I like the aesthetics of the Springfield XDM's. Price range would be up to $700 (not that i have to be at the max) Thanks for any info. Ryan

I went to the Heritage Guild in Branchburg and the saleswomanm, Erin, mentioned this a good place to do research towards buying my first gun.
