WHAT KIND OF PISTOL SHOULD I GET FOR MY FIRST GUN?
I JUST GOT ALL MY LICENSES AND I WANT A NICE RELIABLE GUN LIKE MAYBE A SMITH & WESSON 1911, BERETTA, OR ONE OF THOSE .45 SIG SAUERS PLEASE HELP IM NOT AN EXPERT AND I WANT A GOOD GUN, MAYBE EVEN A .50 CAL DESERT EAGLE?
Ps. I should have mentioned that i am familiar with uns, i go to the gun club with my uncle and neighbor everyweekend, so no .22's for me . Thanks everybody and any advice is appreciated.. btw i agree about the D Eagle
Lots of good answers here. I'd double up the recommendation on a Springfield XD, a Beretta 92/96, SigSauer, or even a CZ-75 (Baby Eagle is about the same gun and very easy, reliable and not tons of parts).
Regarding the Sig, look into a SigPro, specifically a model 2022. They're less than $500 (new) most places and are getting a pretty good following. They officially quit selling them in the US in August 2008, but they have contracts with several police/military departments around the world and will continue to make them for the next 20 years at least. They ship all their overruns here and that's the reason for the lower price. I got mine several months ago and other than the .22's I haven't shot much else since.
A 1911 requires a fair bit of maintenence to be 100% reliable in the experiences I've had. The ones I listed are all very accurate, dependable and have negligible maintenance and few parts. Also, don't be afraid to buy a used gun if you have your father and uncles look it over if money is an issue. If the choice is between buying a used top-shelf gun and a new lesser brand, I'll buy the used gun every time.
Absolutely stay away from a Desert Eagle, but I love my Baby Eagle.. it's a superb handgun (similar in name only, the Baby is totally different from the monster)
Good luck in whatever you decide!
