Ammunition cost was the deciding factor for my next firearm purchase.
I was dead set on getting a 1911 as my first pistol after seeing the photos here and seeing all the praise they garner everywhere. I will own one eventually.
But, I realized that for a first pistol; one that I plan to put a lot of rounds through in order to develop skill and technique; that it probably isn't the best choice. Expensive ammunition and much higher price tags for a good 1911.
As such I decided that I'm going to buy the stainless Beretta m92 FS. Affordable, reliable, accurate, and cheaper 9mm ammunition. I know that this gun seems to get a lot of hate.... But, it feels like the right choice.
