Hey INGunOwners,
I am a new memeber, i just got interested in handguns and i purchased my Conceal permit today . i am looking to get a gun to carry daily. i am 19 and not a very big guy so i want something compact but not small in size (40 or 45). i grew up shooting guns and have shot a few differnt handguns. im not looking for anything as a starter gun i want to jump right in and get something to keep for life! if you have a suggestion let me know!
i am also interested in S&W guns and the H&K USP.
Thanks
I've got about 3,500 rounds thru my HK USP Compact 9mm without a single issue.
When I went searching for an EDC weapon, I went to a gun shop and handled all makes/models of guns. I then rented (if available) the ones which felt the best in my hand. The choice came down to the HK USP Compact and the S&W M&P Compact. Both felt very good in the hand and I shot both very well.
As for caliber, I believe shot placement is paramount over caliber. Plus, choosing a self defense round with solid characteristics is also important.
