Bought my first handgun yesterday. Thanks to fly for recommending the Ruger GP100. Stainless, 4 in. barrel, .357, GORGEOUS. Took my accountant [WIFE] to the shooting range this morning and shot 94 rounds of .38 special. Can't wait to go back with some 357. The wife enjoyed it so much she's already planning our next purchase. Something semi-auto.

Might I suggest the Sig Sauer P226 in .357 Sig?
Absolutely awesome gun. I recently bought one in .40 cal and love it. Feels great and shoots extrememly well. Now I just have to buy the .357 barrel for it for extra fun.

Can't go wrong with a 1911!
Best present I got last year was a Springfield Armory Semi-Loaded HiCap.

My first was a Walther P99 9mm, got it when everything was still made in Germany, just before Smith & Wesson took over the rights, my wife loves it.

Great choice, glad you like it
It's a great handgun, I love just looking at mine Can't go wrong with a SIG in semi-auto
I will strongly recommend AGAINST the FN Five Seven if you want it for anything other than novelty. There is no practical application of the Five Seven for average joe... except a play toy.
No gadgets or new-age look... just classic Browning Hi-Power 9mm love
Surprised that no one on here is a Glock fan, I absolutely love mine. Never had a single problem with it. I think it is a pretty damn fine looking firearm as well.

I have a Glock 23, it's a fine piece.

WTF, O....looking!!!....hey, when you get back hit me up for a trip to the range.
All of those look really nice. The local range is also a dealer--guns, not drugs--and we were looking at his selection. He's got a Smith and Wesson 40 [I thought it was .40 but it was advertised as a 9mm--but I can't find a model 40 when researching it] that was right in our most immediate price range sub-300 but I don't know anything about it. I've also been looking at the Glock 22 .40, but am thinking I would rather something a little smaller. They're offering the concealed/carry class locally next month and will probably take it. However, it'll be a couple more months before I complete the app. Those sigs are really nice too. As are the Walther P-anything. Tough decision, though I think funds [the lack there-of] will definitely drive the next purchase.
