/k/omrades,
I will be attending medical school in a very black city. As such, I will receive great emergency medicine training, but I will also be at risk while walking around campus and the like.
I have never owned or seriously trained with a firearm, but I would like to concealed carry (while outside of school you commie fuckers) and to defend my domicile. I am considering a compact or subcompact Glock or Sig.
First gun recommendations thread pls

S&W shield 9mm or glock 43 should be retard proof enough for you. Take an NRA basic bitch class and look around for reputable instructors to teach you how to actually shoot in defensive situations.

I'm assuming you live in a state with good laws. Best bet is to hit up a gun store, see what your options are, hold em, feel em. Then go to a range that rents and try out the ones you're thinking of actually getting.
I'm a fan of the Glock 26, but I'm a manlet. Some people can CC a Glock 19. In the end, you go with what you feel comfy with.

Also, fuck off antifa faggot.

OP here. Should body size influence my decision? I'm tall and broad, should I opt for a different caliber or class size based on that?
>also nice dubby dubs

I'm short and stocky. It's really all about what you're comfortable with, forget all the 9mm vs .45 bullshit. I like having the extra ammo that 9mm affords. Regardless, you're a grown ass adult haha, you'll be able to handle most common carry rounds. Like I said, feel around and see what you like.
>inb4 muh wound vectors and whatnot

what exactly will you do with your handgun when you have to enter the hospital compex ?
AFAIK all hospitals are gun-free zones unless you are security or police

Walther PPS M2

yes and no.
yes for concealed carry (manlet + fullsize 1911 CC is a bad idea) but if you're a big dude it really shouldn't matter too much.
I wouldn't have it be a deal maker/breaker, but I would keep it in the back of your head of what would just make sense for your size.
above all, go what feels comfortable. not just speaking of size/handling but also recoil and other factors.
what sort of budget do you have, roughly?
>>32981325
honestly with my loans I'm pretty open to just about whatever. my debt is going to reach fuck it level.
