Be careful not to dox yourself. Talking about and owning guns obviously isn’t illegal, but that doesn’t mean some chud won’t try to use information against you.

We highly recommend using a throwaway when asking for or giving advice that may include identifying information. Using Tor doesn’t hurt.

    First: I will always preach that everyone should have a 10/22.

    That out of the way, any of the big-name manufacturers' polymer striker-fired double-stack 9mm pistols is reliable and solid. Springfield XD, SW M&P, HK VP9, Sig P320 (just don't shoot yourself), Glock anything, CZ P10c.

    Same can be said for the hammer-fired double stack nines. CZ 75, HK P30, Walther PPX, etc. Marginally more mechanically complicated, usually a slightly cleaner trigger.

    Short of it, if it's modern, mostly plastic, if the manufacturer is reputable, and it holds 15-20 rounds of 9mm in the basic magazine, it's gonna be fine. Find the one that feels comfortable in your hand. I'd advocate for sigs and HK in that aspect, because of interchangeable grips/grip panels, you can make them feel good.

    Don't buy a Taurus, they go boom when you shake them.

        Ruger's semiauto rifle in 22lr. Holds between 10-25 rounds per magazine. Works. Is not expensive. Is not a scary black gun.

        It is probably the easiest gun to become good with on the planet. You can find parts for them anywhere.

        If I ever became an American politician somehow, I'd be running on free 10/22s for everyone.
