Consider the price of ammo also. 22 is way cheaper than other calibers. 9mm is not that expensive either. I would rent different handguns and try them out to see how they feel. Learn with a .22 and then go for a 9mm. 

Diamondd817,

 

Since when does Glock offer a 15 round magazine for the Glock 17?? Your only choice is the optional 10 round magazine.

Glock made a 15rnd g17 back about six months ago, haven't seen many since then.  If you look online you can find the magazines they are out of stock often but midwayusa and others get the magazines in stock every few weeks.

Diamondd,

 

Ok, thanks! I didnt now that.

 

Good place for mags

.22 S & W #617. Great gun, perfect for target and HD. 

617 as well as the SW Victory are fine for new shooters.

Both made well and accurate.
Nothing nicer then a polished 617

They're not factory direct from Glock, but I've seen pinned G17 mags at a few shops in central NJ. Just need to find a shop that does compliance work like Howell Gun Works or Monmouth Arms.

How reliable are they? I won't use their factory 10 round mags for anything other than training because I have found them to be less than reliable.

The 15rd glock 17 size mags are working just fine for me. I probably have less then 3000rd through mine so far but they have been flawless.

I find them 100% reliable so far. Not sure of exact round count, but at least 500rds each (I have 3).

Good info! Thanks

Beretta has factory 15's for the Px4 full size. MrsZ has them for hers

Wondering if OP every purchased anything, has started their FID and pistol permit paperwork or at least tried a few different firearms?

The CZ Kadet Conversion is very well respected.  Don't be afraid to look at the CZ 75 just because you've never heard of CZ.  It is one of the most widely copied platforms in the world.  Very well respected firearm.

I've shoot my friends Buckmark and it was very accurate.  Eventually I would like to pick one up myself.  So many good 22s to choose from!

CZ 75B, CZ SP01 or CZ P01 in 9mm and then by kadet conversion kit to shot 22 as well.

Thats on my list will this fit the CZ75D PCR compact?

yes but the mags will stick out the bottom a bit, also Kadet kits sometimes require a little fitting (light file or sanding)
