looking for a good starter handgun

[cavskillz]

My first handgun was a used ruger p95 9mm. For $300 I never had an issue with it and fairly accurate and budget friendly. I bought it after handling/shooting several until I found something that fit my budget, shot well, felt good in my hands. I suggest doing the same and finding a handgun that fits you. Since then of course Ive upgraded to higher end pistols.
Good luck and take your time searching.

So far the best answer is the one that said to go to a local gun shop, the "feel" is the most important I think. 9mm pistols are an excellent starting point.
