Hey guys, I'm new to the forum. I applied for my pistol permit a few weeks ago, and I'm starting to look for my first hand gun. I was hoping you all could help me out. I'm looking for something that would be good for bringing to the range, and home protection maybe. But I'm looking for something that would work really well for a left handed shooter like myself. I've shot my brothers Glock 22, and I really like it, but the mag release is pretty annoying. I was thinking maybe a springfield xd would be a good choice?
