Hello all I’m a 23yo male from WI who is interested in purchasing a Handgun. I have never fired or even held a (real) handgun but I have used other firearms (mostly rifles). So as a first time buyer I have afew questions thats Firearm sites cant answer. So here I go.
Q1: What is a good “overall” handgun that comes to mind?
Im looking for a handgun I can use for everything. From protection, hunting protection, maybe even hunt with, conseal and carry, keep with me in a car (for protection), shoot at targets, ect. Just a good all rounder, I’m NOT looking for a specefic field to use it in.
Q2: Whats a good caliber that has good power but not alot of Recoil?
I heard from others that have a Handgun that 9mm is a good “overall” caliber for my interests. But as I have not fired one I am unsure.
Lastly:
- I want a HG that has the safty on the side of the gun not in the trigger (as in no Glocks).
- I want a Magazine fed HG no revolver types
- If possable the trigger to be a slide trigger rather than a typical trigger you see on most guns. (Not sure the name of trigger types)
Any other tips and info appreciated.
