Anyone here know much about handguns? I am looking at the Glock 17 for my first gun and want some people's opinions.
Personally I wouldn't get a Glock. There are some nice cheaper guns for the money.

I'm not necessarily looking for a "cheap gun", but something that ammo will be cheaper for so I can afford to shoot it. The Glock is a 9mm so it won't be that bad and from what I hear, is pretty easy to start off with compared to .45, etc.

Yeah the glock is a little expensive. However it is one of the best hand guns on the market. It will fire under water. Almost never jams. Christ you can pour sand down the barrel and as long as you dump it out the think will still fire! I am actually looking at getting that same gun. Just make sure it isn't a 17 C. For a first gun that is no good.

I did some research on what my first gun should be. I came to the conclusion that the Smith & Wesson Sigma was a good choice. It's design is just like the Glock. The gun is also known as a SWock, and S & W paid for infringements. Mine is the .40 cal, but you can get them in the 9mm variety as well. My second gun was a Remington 710. The cartridge I went with was the .300 Win. Mag. I actually haven't broken it in yet, but it should be fun gun to shoot. Both were fairly cheap. With the ammo, each gun was about $400 a piece. The next gun on my list is an M4.
A buddy of mine is a pretty big gun buff and bought a .40 Sigma about 8 years ago. He didn't like it much and sold it. He NEVER sells a gun, so that is saying something. He got a Taurus after that and loved it.
