i vote .22 pistol great to learn on and cheap to shoot

 

x3 on the .22. If he's never shot a pistol, let him learn on something with minimal noise and recoil for a couple hundred bucks. Once he gets the fundamentals down, the center-fires will be that much more enjoyable to shoot.

Now if ya just gotta have a center-fire, The Smith & Wesson M&P and Glocks (sorry Rampy) mentioned above are both fine choices. May I also suggest the Springfield XDm. These 3 are all polymer-framed pistols and each has it's own cult following. I've shot versions in all 3. All have been 100% reliable but I prefer the XDm (points more natural) with the M&P a close 2nd. The new 4th Gen Glocks are supposed to feel very good in the hand, but I haven't fondled one yet.

 

I would say go with a 22lr at first. But if you want a centerfire 9mm is best bang for your buck. I love my xdm and my CZ75, but cant stand a glock. But you can get a used or police trade in Glock cheaper, and will serve you just fine(if you like the grip). You definitely need to go and atleast hold some and see what you like, its all about the grip, if you dont fit the gun you wont shoot it to your best ability. Good luck with the search!

 

I like my CZ-75 9MM, it's a excellent gun

 

Why don't you support union's nf buy an American made union gun instead of a pistol made in the Czech Republic...

Something all kinds of jacked up about a union thug/lover who refuses to buy American union products.....

Till you nutt up an put your money where your mouth is....your credibility is less than zero....

 

why is it every thread has to come down to friggen unions. it has nothign to do with this thread.

so either talk about pistols, or gtf out of the thread. thank you and have a nice day

 

i'd vote for a revolver, probably in 357 mag. so you can use 38spl to shoot in it also. Revolvers aren't picky on how you hold it, or if you limp wrist it, it is less likely malfunction.

I love the EAA Windicator, they can be had for a little over $225 or so NEW. good solid pistol.

 

Czechoslovakia was, like, the union capital of the world once upon a time... You know, with the communism and the "workers of the world unite" and all that jazz after that one dude with the beard and all that color red and stuff. Si?

 

id say go with a hi point, greatest firearm ever made, i mean seriously. no dont do that, i couldnt even keep a straight face typin that. id go with a nice revolver, .357 so you can shoot .38 like previously said. mabey a ruger blackhawk thats about 400-450 bucks, used ones cheaper, nice single action. if your wanting an auto, i never used to like glocks, but now i got one in .357 sig and i love it, they feel goofy at first, but youll either like it or wont. the ruger SR9 is pretty popular, not a bad feel. but 9mm a cheap round, i bought a Beretta 92 just to shoot 9. the springfield XD's arent bad either, decent price around 450, buy the .40 and get the 9mm barrell and mags and have 2 guns. anyways lots of choices. sorry to go on for so long, i kinda like guns.
