Looking for a handgun!

So, I just got my pistol permit and am ready to purchase a pistol. The gun will be used for personal protection but, I want something that is fun to shoot. My budget is $500-$700 and I want a 9mm or a .40cal.
Should I buy a nicer used gun?
What do y'all think?

I really like the Baby Eagle but there are many small frame pistols that are comfy to carry and fun to shoot.
There is nothing wrong with a used pistol in good shape. I reccomend finding a gun store or range that will let you shoot different models so you can find the one you like.

Try a Glock, Springfield XDm, and Smith & Wesson M&P. If you don't like any of those, look at a 1911.

The Browning Hi Power is a great 9mm but probally out of your price range new.

Glock 19 is 9mm 23 is .40
Get either one and thank me later.

Is composite the way to go?

Seems, the Glock is the most popular in my price range.

I prefer this over the Glock but the Glock is a good piece

It just depends, I have a polymer 9mm XDm. It's a perfect beginner gun and I still love it. I'm not too fond of 40's and 45's in polymer, they're kinda snappy.

I have a Glock 23 and I love it. Best gun for the money.

I'm finding Glocks 19s for $499 and 23s for $575 in Tuscaloosa. Do any of you have recommendations for online purchase?

Go to Woods N Water and you should be able to get a 23 for $500 or $550 at the most.

This is a real nice piece but you'd have to find a good used one

JGsales is a pretty decent place
I've bought from them. Usually can find a dealer to transfer it for you for around $15.
Other good sights:
Sportsman Warehouse
DSGarms
JG handles used firearms as well. Also check slickguns.

Just went to Woods and Water. Looked at several but I think I will purchasing a compact size. They felt much better in my hand than the standard.
I liked the Springfield XD, Glock 23, Berretta, and the Walther!
Can't remember what models the last 2 were but they 9mm and .40 cal respectively.

All I can tell you is about the Walther. I have put hundreds upon hundreds of rounds through mine with absolutely no issues what so ever.

The Walther was a very nice gun. I, also, like that it's not as popular. Seems everyone has a Glock or an XD!
