I am totally new to the world of guns. I am currently in the process of doing preliminary research on semi-automatic handguns, with the intention of purchasing one sometime in the not-too-distant future.
Today I went to a gun shop and talked to the owner for a while. She showed me several handguns: a Glock, a Smith & Wesson, a CZ, and a Beretta.
I'm not yet sure which of these I prefer. I do know two things: I want a gun with a safety, and I want something compact (i.e. not too big).
I'm wondering if people here might care to share their thoughts on which of these models they prefer, and why?
I'm also interested to hear about other brands, models, etc. I'm basically an information sponge at this point, interested in gathering as much knowledge as I can.
Thanks for any help/advice you care to share.
