I am looking to buy my first handgun. I have very little experience with guns, though I did shoot rifles when I was a kid.
Can you give me some advice on buying one or point me to some good resources?

Go to a beginner hand gun class before you buy. Tell them it’s your first experience and you don’t currently own a handgun, and they will let you rent one for the class. After the class, ask to handle 1 popular conceal carry model from each major manufacturer. See what fits your grip well, what’s comfortable, easy to handle etc. Then ask to rent your top 2 or 3 and fire them on the range, see what you like.
My 2 cents, Walther and Canik fit my grip the best, nice runner ups are Springfield and S&W. 9mm and .380 are the top 2 calibers, especially in conceal carry.
