Hi, all
I am new here and MD. to be honest, I even don't have my own gun, but I would like to joint this family soon. I am sure I will get a lot useful information in this forum. I have been working in Army for years, but I am a civilian,  I did some market research and found Glock G-17 might be the one I like. any advice? Thanks, Mike |

Welome to the forum.
The Glock 17 would be a great 1st gun choice. Try to find one used to save a little money. Consider getting training before your purchase. Many instructors will have. G17 available to teach you. __________________ Utah Concealed Firearm Permit Course Schedule May 26 Cambridge Vol Rescue Fire Company, Cambridge, MD June 23 Greensboro Vol. Fire Company, Greensboro, MD June 29 Indian Head, Moose Lodge, Indian Head, MD June 30 Engage Armament, Rockville, MD July 21 Frederick IWLA, Frederick, MD C&R Firearms Collection For Sale My Web Page http://WWW.GenesisFirearms.com |

Welcome,
Glocks are great pistols. You can rent guns at some indoor ranges (TargetMaster on Rt 202 is one I'm familiar with) 9mm is a good choice also because ammo is cheaper and recoil is less. Look into an intro course like First shots or Basic pistol

Welcome, fellow Cecil-tuckian! I love my Glock, but like others will tell you it is best to try out a variety (rent or try a friends) and see what fits you the best. And Yes, get training and then train some more.

Welcome from Elkton.
If it absolutely, positively, must go bang every time you pull the trigger, Glock would be an excellent choice. The only question remaining it full size, compact or sub-compact. try all three. __________________ ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ MSI Executive Member - Be a part of the solution and Join TODAY !

welcome from carroll county and heed the advice from helpful strangers. Rent, borrow, steal(just kidding), a gun from a range or friend or a generous and helpful member. buy ammo for said gun and try it out. worst case scenario, you're out the cost of a box of ammo but you know what you like/don't like. best case scenario is you make a straight shot for the gun counter to pick up your new/used gun that you're sure you'll love. I have an XD-9 for rent for the low, low, price of a box of ammo and a soda. Or a tall glass of lemonade.........sweet lemonade......mmmmmm......sweet lemonade
