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.
My first pistol was the Beretta M9 for that exact reason. I like it, reliable, cheap to shoot, and something good to practice with.
