9 mm gun, what to get?

You can get 9mm rounds cheap to practice with because your a poor college kid. Then buy a higher quality round for personal protection.

I have large hands so i cant carry something to small. I choose the Kahr 9mm its lite and cheaper then a sig it also is larger hand grip then some of the others in that range. I carry it on my ankle as back up or while iam running early in am or at night for muggers and attackers.

David and Goliath! Be familiar with weapon buy what is comfortable to you within your budget. Shot placement is everything. Put a few hundred thru it when you get it. Take a class like as suggested above they are cheap and will help tons (and save your life). I woulndt carry anything that hasnt proven itself on the range. Make sure you put a box thru it every so often to freshen your memory. I carry both 9mm and .45 because 2 guns are better then one haha. Have fun and be safe and keep a coool head and beware of children. Just my 2 cents!
