I've always been partial to SigSauer.

Not a big fan of the grip on Glocks.

Ruger is a good, solid, cheap brand for plinking.

Also, .40>9mm

Yes, so far I have infringed myself from owning a gun
not to be a jerk but could you be more specific as far as to why? (home defense, blow off steam, kill something, ect)

The op was pretty clear that I want to target shoot with buds and family. I will never kill anything with a gun. Home defense is the least of my worries and really one of my biggest oppositions to owning a gun is contributing to gun crime if it happens to get stolen (unlikely, but it would easily be the most valuable thing to thieves that I own)

I have a Ruger SR45 that I really enjoy shooting. Any of the Ruger SR models would be good, fairly inexpensive handguns to purchase, especially for target shooting.

Lib, I would think a smaller gun would be easier to conceal into a movie theater for judging those who are too loud. Not sure the overall size of the ones recommended so far, but keep that in mind maybe.

9mm it is

My concept of shooting people with a gun doesn't include scenarios in which the person is in my house. I'm either in the city streets serving up vigilante justice or in the Wild West where it's either gonna be him or me.

If I were to buy a gun, I'd go for something with really common and relatively inexpensive ammo. So would that be 9mm?

But as mentioned, subject to shortages and hording. "Common" might be swapped with "popular."

i think i've averaged using maybe 3-5 ammos/year or so over the last 20 years. it pretty much lasts forever (i hope, someone post at me if it goes bad after a while).

I have a penis guys, let's shut that .22 nonsense down right now.

I was going to point out how obviously misogynistic this post is, except that I have a .22 and do not have a penis. I don't think the two are related though.

Come to Wichita and I will take you to a ranges that will let you try whatever make and model you want. no rental fee you just have to buy there ammo (not ridiculously priced either).
