Have gone thru the HQL process and started shopping for my first pistol. Looked at ammo prices & figured a 9mm would be good as it won't break the bank.
Choosing a pistol was daunting and the choices seemed endless. Sort of like buying your first car and knowing nothing about cars.
Youtube seemed a good source for reviews as anything I thought looked good I could find some reviews about - hickok45 films seemed like a wealth of info.
Frequently I would find something that sounded pretty good and find out it didn't meet MD's magazine requirements.
I am a visual type of person, and so I wanted something good looking as well as a quality shooter. My daughter owns a glock which I understand are good quality but they will never win a beauty contest.
Ended up with a Beretta 92FS which is, in my mind, a thing of beauty. It also is sort of fascinating that the company is over 500 years old.
Have just wondered how you guys came up with your first choice in pistols.
