Both excellent shops.
Tyler Firearms is a Glock Blue Label dealer if you go glock join the GSSF first and you’ll get 2 glock coupons with a 2yr membership. It’s probably the best deal you’ll see on a glock.
You can also get the paperwork motorized for your designated collectors there.

Just a heads up for that designated collector letter. I believe that you need to have at least 1 regulated firearm, that the MSP knows about, before they will approve the DC status.

If you go Glock, you can also get an AR 9 pistol or a Kriss Vector (with brace) and share magazines. Also a PTR 9CT is a blast to shoot and is a braced pistol but uses MP5 style mags.

I'd say a few things.
Have fun and take your time, which I'd say you are. It's a great opportunity to learn and meet new people, plus you want the right gun.
Keep an open mind. If you go in stuck on 1 caliber, size, brand, etc, you may miss said right gun. The only thing I knew (buying in FL) was that I was getting gun that I would carry.
It's very personal. I have nothing against anyone who is pro Glock, but my service weapon was with a Sig with a different grip angle. 2 styles of training wasn't something I wanted. Ultimately I went with a USP-C in .40. Good luck!

Thanks. From all the comments I’ve learned that choosing your first gun is personal. Really leaning towards the Glock. My even join the GSSF for my discount and attend an event.

Another vote for Tyler Firearms, as if you needed one. They have infinite patience with those of us who might be unsure of what we need, or want.

Why should we Free BSD?
When you decide between Glock and Sig, be sure to check the intergoogle for law enforcement trade ins. You can usually get a smoking good deal on LE trade in firearms. I saw a G22 Gen 4 in very good condition for 300 the other day online...

Decided on the Glock 19. Signed up with GSSF. Waiting on my coupon to come in and get my brand new Glock. Gen 4 for $410 or $425 for Gen 5.

Get the gen 4.
We have a common friend (not on MDS) selling a lightly used G19 Gen 4 for a very good price right now.

Wish I had the coin for it.

Was going with Gen 5 due to the supposedly upgraded barrel and loss of finger grooves. Was also debating if I wanted the MOS version

New Handgun purchase
I like 2a in Jessup. They have a big selection, have gone through the paperwork many, many times and were really great when I did a transfer through them a while back.
Personally, I like the 320 as I have big hands, want a steel frame, and really do like a hammer fired pistol. Of course I dropped all my money on a Walther PPQ Q5, but if I had known they were coming out with an all steel framed version of that gun I would have waited. I like the weight of a steel frame and it does not change so much as the magazine empties, which changes the balance of the gun. I do like the PPQ short (quick) trigger reset, but the initial pull is very long, although still the best striker fired trigger pull I have experienced.
I also like .22 target pistols, like the Browning Buckmark Hunter, or the Ruger Mark IV hunter, but if you only have money for one gun, get the one you can also use for self defense if necessary.
