Any recommendations?  Thinking Beretta or Glock.  

I think you should buy what you actually shoot best with.  I was determined to get a Glock the last time I bought a semi-automatic pistol.   But when I went and shot a bunch with friends, I found I liked the grip of the Springfield XDM better than the Glock and I shot better with it.  So I got that instead.   For some reason they sometimes run a couple dollars more than Glocks but whatever.  

Some ranges have guns you can use or ask friends to go shoot with you that have the type guns you are interested in......then buy what you shoot best with is my advice.    My brother in law gave me tons of poo for not getting the Glock because apparently their is a YUGE fanboy club or something.  I'd rather like what I shoot than be part of a fanboy club.

Yea, my wife is afraid shitless of guns so I want to taker her to range to teach her all about it.  I also hate going to shooting range and use their garbage.  Shooting range guns usually so terrible it feel like the gun will break after every clip lol

my wife didn't like when I first brought guns into the house either.  She got over it.  She still won't shoot though. 

what caliber you looking at?  do you have any handguns already?

Try Blackstone, they're a newer range/shop and seem to be pretty nice. I'm betting they'd have a nice selection of rental pistols. I agree with CRA. I actually like my Glock, and chose it over a Sig, which is what I originally wanted before I shot one. Buy what feels good in your hand and feels natural when you look down the barrel.

I think 9m is enough.  I got AR15 and Mossberg 590 but no handguns.

Seriously, if you want my input it's helpful to know what your plans with it are. Self defense in the home, concealed carry, target shooting, action leagues, etc.?

Just target shooting and maybe Home defense.  Wife straight up refusing to hold a shutgun lol

I guess I will swing by shooting range and ask to hold some guns.  I like my friend glock a lot.

For home defense, a shotgun is the way to go. Does your shotgun look tactical? If so maybe that makes her nervous, maybe not. I'd try letting her shoot a long shotgun in maybe 20 gauge. Way less kick and while the shells are more expensive, if you're mainly using it for self defense, shell costs won't really be a factor. The simple sound of a shotgun slide can be a deterrent to criminals, and the ability to hit a large area with minimal aiming makes it a little less difficult to hit your target under duress. Also, shotgun pellets don't tend to go through multiple walls, possibly killing your kids or your neighbor. 

My sister shoots a 20 gauge and loves it. She's 5'8" and 110 lbs. Just something to think about.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Navy_football · Posted

      It's been mentioned in this thread, yet many are glossing over it... This WR group has a ton of potential. TMAC, XL and Coker, and maybe even Horn as the speed guy will get a ton of snaps in this offense. The reality is that they are all really unproven. Hopefully they're ascending, but we don't know if XL and Coker are maxed out based on last season. TMAC and Horn are ROOKIES. So the only "proven vets" are Thielen, Moore and Renfrow. Not exactly top of the league. Biggest issue being a lack of speed to take the top off of defenses. Say what you want about Tedd Ginn but he was probably the most important receiver on the team in 2015.

      That would basically make him a top 10 quarterback based on last year's stats if you break down each QB metric, complied and ranked them. I get the premise of the question--why should we get rid of Bryce after the season if the team still sucks, but it's not Bryce's fault?  Fair enough. If Bryce balls out and for whatever reason we still can't get over the hump, he shouldn't catch all the grief for it.  However, I will caveat that while stats can add layers of paint to a canvass, they do not always paint the whole picture.  So while those hypothetical stats are pretty darn good, if we are inept in the red zone settling for FGs or he's coughing up the ball on sacks or completing layup passes that doesn't get us first downs, then statistically he can have a really good season, but it could leave us on the short end of the scoreboard some games.

      I’m expecting a breakout season from Ja'tavion Sanders

      By Car123 · Posted

      Not many are talking about this player. He played well as a rookie last year. If he refines his blocking, continues studying film, and keeps working hard, I can see him being the next Greg Olsen. I’m expecting 55 catches, 700 yards, 4 TDs this season.
