Do you have a budget in mind? A style of gun (1911, revolver, etc)?
I'm assuming you like 9mm and that you like the short barrels but if you're considering open your horizons...

Right now just these two. Looking for something compact and good for concealed carry.

In the future I would look for something bigger.

Ok then in that case, I've heard glowing feedback from friends with the small Springfield. My 2¢

[MoGro17]

Also, a snub .38 special revolver is very popular for ccw

Don't want a revolver. Thanks though.

Ok then. I hope we were helpful.

Now.

It's time for the hijack:

What are everyone's loadouts?
My pride and joy is my IWI Tavor. She's a beaut.

I have to figure out the process first. There is no point in applying just to get denied. I was going to apply in NJ (I have a NY License) But a friend got denied for having an out of state license. Now it seems that I'll have to go for a NY one, which is much harder.

Not sure why your friend had an issue getting a permit. NJ allows non residents to get a firearms ID. (Which basically only allows you to buy a long gun). But you need to be a NJ resident to get a permit for a handgun.

every free person should own at least 1 handgun and 1 rifle / shotgun

And anyone in NMB should have at least 3 of each.

while i'm a glockboy- but my friend just bought the s&w and fired 6000 rounds in the first 2 weeks. Loves it- no issues at all. What i find to be the most undervalued discussion when it comes to guns is the type of ammo you choose. A great 9mm ammo will have the stopping power of many mediocre .45 ammo.
And there is no such thing as carrying a gun for self defence that is not fully filled with jhp. Additionally get some +p or +p+ and practice so you get used to the extra recoil. But this is going to give you the stopping power that is needed. Here in Israel we unfortunately have many incidents that multiple shots were fired at terrorists but he still kept attacking.

Can't go wrong with a Springfield, Shield or any Glock.
The most important thing is to NEVER buy a gun you haven't shot at least 50-100 rounds through.

Great gun but very overpriced for what you're getting. You can build a much better AR for 2/3rd the cost of a stock Tavor.

I personally carry with no safety and one in the chamber, as do most of the people I know.

You and most people you know you should not own guns.

OP how much are you looking to spend. You interested in a SW39 customized by Devel?

kahr cw-9 - serves its purpose
kimber solo cdp - gorgeous and great for pocket carry

@Chuck if you decide on the Springfield this may be the best price you'll find http://www.gunbuyer.com/p-53941-springfield-xds-9mm-essentials-33-barrel-black-8rd.aspx

A while ago they had a MIR for 4 free mags so look around for MIR's when you are ready to buy.

Although you may find a larger gun isn't that much harder to conceal and your accuracy is greatly increased. Something to try if you'd like... I was shooting the XDS 9mm and had decent accuracy then shot a PPQ 9mm and my accuracy went up like crazy, so if you can conceal it I'd recommend trying a bugger gun. Plus 17 bullets is far better than 8...

Ok.

I'm curious what the oilem here thinks about how old you would let a son or a daughter start learning to shoot. Different for boys and girls?

Oh, and the reason I am posting on this thread is because I am curious what kind of gun you would start a kid with. Obviously it cannot be something that will fly out of his hand. I also have a feeling that nobody should fire a weapon that they themselves don't know how to take care of.

Never to early to start. My grandfather taught my mother at 5 years old. Personally I started with a air powered (but still pretty powerful) revolver.
