If a target gun is all you want a 9mm is cheaper to shoot than the 45. If you want something to carry for protection, it is a toss up. A 45 has more knockdown power but a 9mm can be concealed a lot easier. i’d say for a first gun that you will use a lot at the range and maybe carry every now and then a 9mm will fit the bill. ---

Go to Bullseye on Campballs Run Road, you can shoot tons of different guns. My buddy has a membership there and we go there and shoot different guns all the time. My favorite is the full auto mp5, that thing is cool as hell. ---

guns + beer= fun. just don’t shoot your eye out. I’m pretty happy with 9mm just for plinking around. Ammo is cheap. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/something-to-read-other-than-bitching/167006.md?page=2)
