Hey fellas,
I'm relatively new when it comes to guns, but I've recently been bit by a gun bug and am interested in purchasing my first firearm. I've fired a few weapons before and tend to prefer handguns (I'd like something practical for home defense other than a shotgun).
I've fired a Colt 1911 and remember liking it. I'm also in love with the body style and weight. I've been told to save my money and just purchase a Glock instead. I've fired one (although I'm unsure which model), and don't really have anything negative to say except that it feels too much like a toy.
I don't really have large hands, however I don't want a small gun to compensate. I feel an M&P Shield look too small with the shorter barrel.
Does anyone have any suggestions of pieces to look at? I'm really open to anything, and have a few gun shops and firing ranges in my area where I can hold one or test one out. I don't really have a price range either, more looking for the best *bang* for the buck.
