First time!

Kir-Sheng, Ed and I went to a shooting range on south 13th this early evening. This was my first time ever holding a handgun as well as pulling the trigger.

We looked around the shop first and Kir decided to purchase an AR-15 which was beautiful. The pistols that caught my eye were the SigSauer P229 Elite ($1069) and SigSauer 1911 ($????) , I was interested in the Glock 19 ($529) as well but not as much as the Sigs.

I tested out two handguns, a Beretta 92 9mm and a Kimber 1911 (.45ACP). Out of the two, I love the 1911 due to the weight and the trigger sensitivity. The slide release was easier to release compared to the P229 Elite but most likely cause its new.

Heading out to the shooting range tomorrow, would like to try the Glock and another pistol (There wasn't much of a selection, possibly about 15 handguns?).

Below is a pic of a P229 Elite:



Kir also mentioned that now would be a good time to purchase a handgun in case (depends on which) a democrat comes into presidency, the prices will increase.

Looks like I'll need to see at least 3 iPhones to purchase this pistol, case, laser sight and extra mags :p

EDIT: Looks like the P220 is a nice choice as well. We'll see tomorrow!

EDIT 2: Went with Kir, Ed and Jay today. We stayed for 2 hours this time but tried out the following: Beretta, Glock 19, Sig P229, ??? and Heckler and Koch .45ACP (USC) rifle.

Bought 2x250 9mm at $50 each and went through it all between 3 people. That's it, I want a 1911 or P229 Elite :p
