I don't know anything about the S&W Sigma series as I'm not a fan of the "plastic" type handguns (just personal preference).I was thinking about buying a s&w sigma series. What do you guys think of them?---
Since nobody ever sticks up for Walthers I will. Don't buy anything until you at least hold a Walther P99. I would however avoid the compact model in .40 (its very snappy).

I am absolutely sold on my baby glock 357, but I do think that for a first pistol, you cant beat a Ruger that shoots 22. You will shoot all day, be happy AND save inflicting pain on your wallet. Move up from there, obviously.

What may I ask are you planning to use your first handgun for and what have you shot so far?

+1. For a first centerfire, I think you can't go wrong with a Glock 19. I almost bought one, but I saw a Hi-Power go by on the forum and couldn't resist.Ya like the Glock? Well there you go!
The trigger isn't that bad and it loosens up with use. (Two by rebate.)
I'd suggest stalking the Classifieds section here. You can find some great deals in there.
Ya like the Glock? Well there you go! I agree with an earlier poster though, shoot as many as you can. And don't bother with a 1911, you'll hate it. Actually you'll just hate buying ammo for it.
(although it's always appreciated if you bring a box or two of ammo).
You don't need a permit, and it's not a competitive environment - so if you've never shot before, you're not going to look bad. Quite the opposite in fact because the people that attend these shoots like nothing better than to help new shooters.
