allow me to introduce my self, im walther. i dont have any guns yet but i will start off with buying a 9mm baretta. when i held it at the gun store it felt good. I dont have any experience with guns so im starting off small then working my way up to the bigger ones. im a carpenter in the union, and well i like guns. I respect them and want to get my family into shooting. I want my wife and kids to come with me to go shooting. |

Good hobby for kids and family. get the kids to take a safe gun class.
If the wife enjoys it, it is also easier to purchase more guns...lol

SO, Wally.............watcha gonna get?
wally_walt
so im looking at a 9mm beretta 92 fs to start with, or a 617 revolver. i just want to get more comfy shooting small bullet guns before moving up to the bigger bullet
greasypaws
alot of people knock berettas mostly military people(shut up and use what you are issued!)i had a beretta 92 in .40S&W it was a easy to use,nice shooting gun not to mention easy to tear down for cleaning!
sytasyn_syn
I say drop the beretta before you swear off guns altogether!!! The beretta for your first pistol is like wanting to fuck for the first time at the young niave age of 12 and choosing the Man/girl on the corner to try it out....no bueno Wally, no bueno. please choose something else...A SIG or the Ruger SR9, or a Glock, or a 1911. Something!!
wally_walt
sig's are good? rugers are nice i seen them, i will check them out before i make my purchase. the 1911 are sweet also i will check them out also. thanx for the feed back
greasypaws
try as many as you can wheel guns also(revolvers)dont let anyone talk you into anything!there are alot of great guns out there but for some people the glocks ,sigs,berettas,xd's and others are too much for them thats why i say try wheel guns too!find what fits you!dont buy a glock cause someone says so,try other guns too!
ebear
is this from past experiance?????/hmmmmmmmmmmm? but seriously I have a Berreta-couger 8000, good gun but a pain in the ass to put back together after cleaning
sytasyn_syn
Just dont get a Beretta M9. POS
ebear
i think im going smith and wesson next time around......pistol or revolver. but hey wally next time you go to the range check out the springfield xd.
sytasyn_syn
YES The XD is an Excellent gun, for conceal or range.
