Go shoot a few. If you have friends with firearms test out what ever they have or rent a few different ones from a local range, if they have rentals.

Hello. In Massachusetts you are somewhat limited as to what handguns you're allowed to own/possess/carry, correct? It may be helpful if you would outline those restrictions for us.

Ill be attending the Sig academy next month. Taking handgun 101 and 102. Sig trains on the 320. I guess that's a good place to start.

I'm not 100% sure what is or isn't Ma compliant yet. There's a range close by that rent by the caliber. $25 plus ammo and I can try them all. I LEO friend recommended I try all the 9mm

I carry the Sig P220 as my every day carry. I love it, but I agree with Greg, shoot a bunch and see what feels right. Definitely a very personal thing, which guns feel right.

8lug, that sounds like a good plan, seriously. For that $25, yeah, try out the brands and models that feel best in your hands. Also, 9mm is the right caliber to try first, easier to shoot and less expensive to "feed". Plus, with the hotter self defense ammo, it's very capable of doing its job.

Went to the range yesterday with a buddy and got to fire his Canik TP9SA. I found out that I'm cross dominate. left hand, right eye.

A couple new additions to the family...

Not necessarily a fan of Taurus, but I picked this up for a really good price and figured what the heck. Shoots really nice actually.

Put this together for the annual .22 match at the hunt club this year. Last year Boo was out gunned shooting my old Henry Golden Boy against all the 10/22s. NOT this year!

One of the guys at the club brought some suppressors, that little rifle LIKED the suppressor!

Boo having some fun with one of the "toys" the suppressor guy brought.

Got a 9mm Sig P226 legion. 200 rounds later and I'm hooked. Another slippery slope. :)

Bought a new and tough to find Ruger Wrangler .22 LR single action revolver today. Range trip tomorrow.

The Wrangler works fine and I can shoot it pretty well outdoors in the sunlight. Those small sights inside, not so much.

Picked up a new FN recently. Ran a couple hundred rounds through it and she seems to be great. Only thing I don't like it the muzzle brake. It has three prongs and it sounds like a tuning fork when you fire it.

Hoping to jump on a bronze one if they ever make it out to my local shop. Man I miss the range :(. Not sure if I want to drop the coin on this or a ruger super redhawk :D

Amazing how inexpensive .40 caliber trade in handguns have gotten. Yesterday I picked up a full size, like new M&P for $220 + tax. Crazy.
