Headed straight to the range from there. Got a new range bag, too.

This one:

Range Bags | Range Ready Bag | 5.11 Tactical

$100 on Amazon and it's nice! Plenty of space for bringing several pistols to the range.
nice big range bag...im considering this backpack to use for matches because it seems easier to lug around during matches between stages than my regular range bag

CED Shooter's Back Pack

Controversial subject. Not everyone agrees that limp-wristing is a problem - at most thought to be only one component of ejection problems. Although it's possible that the grip angle of the Glocks may contribute to FTE's relative to the way that some people hold it, the issue appears to be improved given the different recoil springs in the Gen 4.

I've taken courses from some recognized Glock experts. Larry Vickers does give it some credence as a combination of grip technique and design factors. Louis Awerbuck just make a rude noise when the subject of limp wristing is brought up.

IMO the 19 is such a practical gun that I would lean toward that. In the near future when I get a full-sized Glock, I am going for the 22 (.40 S&W).

Neither, Walter PPQ or HK P30


Just kidding. I have a Gen 3 19.

Just FYI, I had 2 Gen 4 17s. Both 17s extracted to my forehead and chest. I don't buy the limp wristing arguement when i can immediately pick up my Gen 3 19 or HK P30 and have it eject at 3-4 o'clock.

Ok gun experts. So what are good first guns? Something not expensive that I can learn to shoot on at the range and wont recoil in my face
And please provide links or prices. Thanks!

9mm striker-fired semi-automatic like a Glock 26, 19, 17, or a Smith and Wesson M&P 9c, 9 or 9L/Pro depending on whether you intend to carry it. I'm not a huge fan of Glocks, mainly for their aesthetics, but there is no denying that they are well-designed, rugged handguns that are simple to maintain and shoot, and they are cost-effective. 9mm is the way to go - low recoil, ammo is cheap and available.

There are many, many, many excellent handguns out there, most of the good ones between $700 and $1000. Glocks and M&Ps, at ~$500, are a bargain as defensive firearms.

Please do not try to teach yourself how to shoot your new firearm, and please do not rely only on the instruction course required for your handgun or concealed-carry permit. Get additional training that focuses on how to use a firearm effectively and how to take care of it. THEN go out to the range and shoot it and practice with it. A lot.

As a size reference, M4A1Mustang posted above, what appear to be a Glock 26, Glock 19, Glock 17.
