I love my Beretta 92fs. Accurate, reliable, feeds anything, and IMO the sexiest 9mm ever made.

I have a 9mm Glock and a 45 Sig. They both are dead on nuts when I fire them.
mini-nines are good for pocket duty ... I have one, easy to drop in your jeans pocket to go see what is going on.
Get ready to get flamed by the gun grabbing FReepers...
Yup...
Any second now...
holsters are cheap too

Hope it works for you. They seem to be hit and miss (mostly miss) from what I’ve heard (no personal experience). Those with good ones got a bargain.
I didn’t even know they existed!!

That gun is such a cheap model, you should only use it for self-defensive emergency events. Do not target practice with it. It’s a cheap gun and will soon malfunction.
Good luck with that.
My only suggestion is to try out different ammo until you can shoot 100 rounds without any failures. Until then don’t use the gun as if your life depends on it.
I’ve seen guys with those at the range cursing alot. They do work for the most part but I’ll stick to my H&Ks.
Have a good friend that is a CCW trainer and he said don’t buy one. He is a bit of a gun snob and can afford high priced weapons. If testing says it is reliable, who cares what it looks like if you can secure a target and put it on the ground. My wife has a Kimber .45 and a 92F 9 mm Beretta—much more expensive and she had to return the Kimber because of occasional jamming.
My normal is a Para-Ordanance P12.......
Yet recently I purchsed a brand new stainless steel Charter Arms .44 special Bulldog.....
I love this gun and with jacketed hollowpoints, is a defininite manstopper......
Made in the USA and has a lifetime warranty as well.....
Very light, easily concealable and stainless so when up against the body for long periods when concealed it doesn’t rust..... It sells for about $350.....
Word of caution, buy only the new version currently produced, some of the older ones when the factory was operated by a different management team had quality issues. The new ones have several improvements and appear to be high qualilty in their manufacture.
No way I would EVER buy a Hi-Point. If necessary, I would work two jobs until I saved the money to get a real gun. Self defence is like interviewing for a job.....”you only have one chance to make a first impression” :]
Here is another I picked up for a couple hundred new. Not sure what they go for now.
S&W Sigma 9ve. Accurate as hell. And will give you bulging muscles in your trigger finger ;-)
Are there gun-grabbing Freepers. I mean othar than like myself who wants to grab every fine firearm he sees.
Whatever firearm you have, get to know it better than you know yourself. Clearing jams and other unexpected events need to be second nature.
I have a Glock 19 and 23. Paid under $500 for each. Speer 124 grain +P 9mm ammo is a pretty good round for the 19, which has a 15 round magazine. All together, the loaded 9mm is around $510 or so. I figure my life is worth AT LEAST that.
You lost me when you said Glocks are the ugliest.
