      New shooter, looking for his perfect pistol

      I've added the suggested columns to the spreadsheet - you make a good point. Both of the smaller caliber guns I fired before moving up to the 9mm (Kimber 1911 .22 and [can't remember the make/model] .380 were both steel framed, and felt quite solid in my hands. As I'm looking primarily for...

      New shooter, looking for his perfect pistol

      @Maui - I'm adding that to my list to try. I am also quite open to used firearms. I figure that if I have to strip it down before using it, I'll just be that much more familiar with it.

      New shooter, looking for his perfect pistol

      Also, generally speaking, I have 17 pistols (some in multiple calibers) to try out before I make a final decision. I've posted the list online. You can find it here.

      New shooter, looking for his perfect pistol

      @Jeep: I have a few other models of HK on my list of pistols to try, as well as several Glocks and Sigs. Right now, my top-of-the-list is the HK P2000 9mm, but that's only the second 9mm I've tried. I still have a lot to experience/try.

      New shooter, looking for his perfect pistol

      @INMY01TA: They do? I test fired one at the range this past Tuesday, and was having problem after problem with the right-handed controls. Also, as the rangemaster was getting busy and I didn't even think about the lefty problem until almost the end of the evening when my friend mentioned she...

      New shooter, looking for his perfect pistol

      @Maui (and possibly to several others that have replied), my current price cap is $700 (I set that as it's equal to one month's rent, and likely my reasonable short term savings/spending limit). I could wait a little longer and save more, but seeing the recent trends in firearm prices, I feel...

      New shooter, looking for his perfect pistol

      I've been looking around for pistols to try when deciding on the perfect pistol for me. I'm looking for suggestions from experienced shooters. My primary handicap in looking for a pistol is that I'm left-handed, and have virtually zero dexterity with my right hand. I know this limits my...

      how old are you and what do you do?

      33, Security Systems Administrator (Airport) - mostly IT/DBA/catching idiots/running reports to prosecute said idiots sort of work.

      how old are you and what do you do?

      You may have crossed paths with a close friend of mine, also in the business (he's a sword swallower, fire eater, fakir, escape artist, and also does slight of hand), Dai Andrews.

      Freshman shooter, jumping in headfirst. Hello all!

      Luke, thank you for the suggestion. That's another one I'll add to my list to try.

      If I want to nerd out and buy a katana...

      To revive this old thread, I have a little to offer on this topic, as I've been a part of the sword community for over a decade. Honestly, since swordfighting is quickly becoming a lost art, qualified trainers are becoming increasingly hard to find. While various Asian martial arts schools are...

      Freshman shooter, jumping in headfirst. Hello all!

      Thank you all for the warm welcome! I can hardly wait for my next range trip. I'm debating between doing an exploration of various 9mm pistols or trying my hand with .40 and .45. I'm very happy with the HK P2000 9mm I tried last time, but definitely want to try more. I'm particularly...

      Freshman shooter, jumping in headfirst. Hello all!

      Just last night (Tuesday, March 10), I finally made my first trip to the range. User Nerd (who I've known for quite some time) took me to Continental Arms in Timonium. I blew through about 220 rounds, starting with a generic (meaning, I can't remember the manufacturer - something starting...
