So being new to this hobby I have a lot to learn. I have gotten some great help in the general info section mostly about gun safety and laws in my state (NJ). I have also taken to learning about guns in general, designs, how they work and are built. I read a post on the site that really clarified a bit about finding the right weapon.
I know I will need to hold and fire several guns before I get a "feel" for what I will truly like. But I would like to find a starting point. I am more looking for something to bring to the range and shoot. Not really looking for the perfect home defense weapon. I want it to be fun and if possible cool to look at. I really like modern/ futuristic looking weapons (if that helps). I also have a really tight budget so something on the cheaper side (under $400 I guess is cheap?) maybe even something I can upgrade in the future. So what manufacturers or models should I look for? What caliber do you recommend for a beginner to start with?
I want to, after getting my basic handgun training done, go to a range to rent weapons and have a bit of knowledge on what I should look to rent. I will also ask the shop's employees as well but I believe in you can never have too much knowledge. I am also not opposed to having pictures posted, nothing like a little gun fun to make the day go by at work.
