Well just recently turned 21, and I've been wanting own my own handgun since I fired my first gun at 10 and the last one I shot till yesterday. I didn't even remeber how it felt, but wow is all i got to say. We went to the local gun range, signed a few papers, paid for a rental, eye and ear protection, bought an Osama Bin Laden target, plus a box of 100 rounds.
Gun I shot was the H & K .45, first round I clipped off, suprised me a bit and got the heart racing. The guy 2 lanes down was shooting his M4 (or looked like it) and a Glock 17 that thing would rattle off so many rounds, he was suprisingly accurate with it.
So yes ... now I want to own my own gun again, its not going to be used for self defense, but mainly for target shooting, was thinking maybe a 9mm, or a .380. (Don't know if I like .22's)
My question to those on these boards, whats an accurate gun, with realtively low priced ammunition that I can start to look into. Most the advice I've gotten is just to stick to major brands and you should be ok as far as reliability in a gun. They also suggest the gun you get depends on the shooter.
Any stories are welcome, advice, sales of, or anything related to guns. (Well maybe not anything, please politics not welcome

)
