I want to start shooting but don't know a lot about guns.

Glock 17/19 and CZ-75's are both good, reasonably priced starter handguns.

get the glock

>>33825991
something with a manual safety.

understand the differences between single action only, double action only, and SA/DA, figure out what you want, then start looking from there. come back with a "which striker fired DAO pistol do i get" etc and you will get slightly """"slightly"""" less shitposting

1911 is probably the hardest pistol on the planet to fuck up or ND with

Glock 19, upgrade the sights, buy a fuckload of ammo and shoot it. Avoid forking over large amounts of dosh on instagrammy $200 TiN coated barrels

And I'll give these mindblowing revelations to most people who tout this as a fact

>how a gun feels in your hands=/=how it actually shoots
>a newbie does not even know how to properly grip a handgun

Glock, 1911 or CZ (or CZ clone) in 9mm (or .45 in the case of the 1911).

All three guns can be customized like crazy and about 90% of serious competitive shooters use those guns.

So just start out ahead of the game.

get whatever you like from a reputable manufacturer (I like HK/Glock/Beretta) and read this: https://www.scribd.com/document/346633700/Git-Gud-k-s-Guide-to-Practicing-Defensive-Pistolcraft-Revision-1

If you've never fired a gun before, something in 22lr. If you have, whatever fits your hand good and has features you like. The quality of most major firearms nowadays is very close, barring differences in polish and machining. You'll find as many shit hi point and Taurus stories as you will CZ, Ruger, or Glock

Confirmed troll bait.

Any of the Ruger .22's.

Glock 17 was my first gun. Best ever. Low maintenance, easy to clean, fires well.
