Hey all,
I am new here and to firearms in general. I have signed up for a firearms safety class soon and want to get my first handgun. I was leaning towards a SA XDm 40 or a SW M&P40, specifically the XDm because I went out to handle some the other day and I liked the way that one felt. I have a buddy in the army that I talked to last night, a lifelong gun person, and he said that there is nothing better than a Glock and I really need to check one out. i am not opposed to that but being a noob with guns I like that the XDm has a couple of different safeties. I think I would be very careful with them but it would probably make me feel better to have that extra protection.
What do you think? Are there any other guns I should check out while i am looking. i am looking to spend around $600 and want to get something good for my money.
Thanks for any help.
