these days its hard to go wrong with a gun purchase unless its an older gun or used...i buy most mine used just because im 16 and it saves me alot and i know what to look for but some arent worth a dime...it would be easier if you would tell us what you like in a gun and maybe some particular models and caliber you like....you should know what you like by now.....us blindly saying we like this gun is worthless.....i mean..come on..id never let someone pick out a gun for me.....i buy a gun because i like it....some people love the looks of wood....others synthetic....some like stainless....some hate it.....id say pick out a few you really like and then ask us if it is a pretty good accurate reliable gun...thats the way to go.....good luck on your purchase...pick a gun YOU like and enjoy it.....
