Just because a guy works behind a counter with guns in it does not mean he is an expert on them.the guy at sportsman warehouse said the same thing.. he recommends the xd's or sig's. but sig's cost a few hundred more lol.. not happening. i'm already gonna be hurting my truck fund to get my ccp and pistol so... oh well. lol.
i really like the xd's. just don't know if i want a 9mm, .40, or .45... the guy at the store recommended the 9mm b/c i wanna shoot for fun to, and the price of ammo. i've always heard bad about .40's b/c it has more recoil than a .45 but less knockdown, so why would it be worth it?
Best thing you can do is go to a local range that rents guns and rent the ones you like and shoot the piss out of them. Find one YOU like.. not what some mall ninja says is cool.
I DO like Glocks. They are probably the most reliable handgun you can buy (with the exception of the new 4th Gen probs). You can buy a Grip Force Adapter if you dont like the grip..hell you can give it a beavertail like your favorite 1911.
You have shot 250 rounds.. cool story. You need to be shooting much more than that if you plan to carry this gun. Takes a heck of a lot more than 250rds to build the muscle memory you need to be sure you deploy your weapon effectively and dont end up hurting yourself or others.
In closing... be safe and
