    New member from Sellersburg Indiana.

    Recently acquired my CCW permit and have been researching my 1st purchase. A lot of information to go through, so much in fact, that it can be almost paralyzing when it comes to figuring out that 1st firearm purchase. I figured it was time to actually create an account and speak with members here for some recommendations.

    Some Bio information:
    43yrs
    IT professional
    Married for 24 long long years. :):
    Lived in Southern Indiana most of my life, specifically in Sellersburg

    Handgun Preferences:
    1. No preference so far on striker vs hammer fired
    2. No issues with Polymer vs All Metal frames
    3. Preference for 9mm due to availability of ammo
    4. Prefer something with a fuller grip due to large hands
    5. Utilization: The usual...range, personal protection but mostly range
    6. Not sure I want to spend much more than $450 for my 1st gun but it seems most of the better reviewed guns are at least $500
    7. Prefer Ambi mag release or the ability for release to be swapped - Left handed
    8. No preference for external safety
    9. Some consideration for CC ease, but not a huge factor.

    Well, that's me in a brief nutshell and some idea of my thoughts or lack thereof on that elusive 1st purchase.
