Sig Sauer P226 9mm

Correct first handgun?

Does it fit your hand?

Edit: My first handgun was a revolver. Don't discount them.

That's damned nice, but I'd suggest .45ACP instead of 9mm. Not as likely to overpenetrate which is particularly important in heavily populated areas like apartments. And the knockdown power is nice.

But that'll work.

This is a pretty solid choice, SIGs are great. I like the 9mm pick for now, as the cheap ammo will ensure lots of practice shooting compared to a .40 or a .45.

Just be sure to test-shoot it some before buying it, make sure it feels right in your hand, compared to a Glock or Steyr or something.

Is this for personal protection?

I think this is good advice. With that said, my father-in-law has one andreally likes it. I like the P226 ok too. I don't own one but have fired it, although I like my Glock more.

1. I have big hands, grip size is not an issue.
2. Actually, I do need a gun.
3. Primary purpose is becoming an expert marksman.
