First hand gun, Opinions?

Ok, I'll put my 2 cents in too.

CZs are great guns, I've got 3. Wouldn't take for any of them. Accurate and dependable.

and,

I recently purchased a Glock 30 short frame (a .45) and love it.

Glock and CZ are my go to guns.

Don't think you'll be happy owning only one gun

Buy a CZ75 9mm and a .22 kadet conversion for it and never look back. You wont be sorry. In fact you will most likely do as most who purchase a CZ75 do and purchase many more CZs. I have 2 and it isnt near enough..

Tokyo, you haven't mentioned if you have any prior shooting experience. A trip to the range with a friend or relative might improve your ability to choose....

I am mainly a revolver guy, but I also love to practice with my Ruger Mark II. My son, who I taught, has now settled on Berettas because of his familiarity from military service.

A full size 9mm like the 92 and family would probably not be too much for you. But most of us like to see a new shooter start with 22s, lots of cheap practice and minimal recoil.

My opinion is... rent several from a shooting range and see what feels good. See what fits your hand and see what points good. I agree with the Glock that it is a point and shoot, and Glock has alot to choose from, so see what fits you from what they have to offer. Personally I like a 45.... propably because they don't make a 46, he, he, he. My biggest suggestion to you, being new to the firearm scene, is whatever handgun you get, learn how to handle it with respect and sefety. Find out about the don't so no one gets hurt. I would HIGHLY recommend getting an instructor that will take you and your hand gun and build on that. It's wise and will make you a better shooter. Plus, you can see what they shoot as well. Jim

You cant go wrong with the Beretta 92. Like other I recommend getting a 22 rimfire to learn to shoot 1st. To get good you need to put a lot of lead down range. 22 is cheap.
