thanks all for caring....!
so after waiting for ever at the dmv i got my license and state id and headed for the range. the people were really cool there. i told them my story and went from there. i started out shoting a double-action revoler .38 special. shot 50 rounds through it. dude told me not to jerk the trigger just squeeze it and it should surprise you when the it shots. well i defenitly have even more respect for guns, they are f!@king powerful. i though paintballs hurt, i can't imagine...
next i shoot the g19 (9mm) 50 rds. that was alot easier to shot. i really like the compact size glock guns. its funny the guy told me that most people can't fit all 10 rds in the mag. their first time. i;m thinking ok, ok. man i got 10 in but it takes some freaking effort, my fingers were killing later. he also pointed out to hold the gun. not to have my left hand thumb overlap in the back, or i will lose it!!! good advice.
after that i shot the g23 (.40 cal) 50 rds. that was a big difference from the 9mm. i think thats the one i want to buy. i decided on waiting b/c i want to go try a couple more glocks out. also i am worried if i get a handgun that i might not be able to use it if i become a cop, b/c all the departments have different standards.
both the g19 and g23 were priced at $506.99 new. is that a good price? i have been saving up and can afford that, but it is still a big investment, and i want to make sure i like what i buy.
no matter what i will always remeber that day. i spent about $90 that day(8.50 /per gun + 3 boxs of bullets around $11/each + big silloute targets .89/each + $3 eye and ear protection + $15 all day range fee) i think that is pretty good, how dos that compare to ranges yu guys use??? you spend the most on bullets!

thanks again!!!
