Question about purchasing a handgun?

Remington does not make a .44 presently but if you want a 9mm that would be good. Ammunition is the cheapest for a new centerfire handgun and you can learn a lot shooting it. I would suggest going to a gun range and handling at least a couple models and brands of guns that are chambered in 9mm. A lot of people turn out not liking glocks because of the agressive grip angle while some love them. Personally I like them but I don't like the grip angle. I like the glock 19, Springfield XD9 Service, and Smith&Wesson M&P 9mm about all equal. I would reccomend looking at all 3 before deciding on what you want to buy.
