9 mm gun, what to get?

Well, I appreciate all the advice and stuff, but my parents have forbidden me to get a gun. Apparently, they have the same idea about guns and motorcycles.... none while I live here.

Time to move, lol. JK, I know you're going to college and don't really have a choice.

Just thought I'd throw this out there to add to a lot of good advice:

If a person were to start with too large a caliber when they first start shooting a handgun, they can develop a nasty flinch. I see it at the range all the time..... They pull the trigger on an empty chamber and the muzzle comes forward and takes a dive in anticipation of recoil. These are usually the same people that ***** that their handgun "...shoots low from the factory." Just food for thought is all.
