I’ve jumped through the legal hoops (in WA state) and am poised to buy my first pistol. My primary purpose in having a gun is home protection (looking at the other guys in line for a concealed permit reinforced that sentiment...some creepy guys out there packing). Based upon the training I’ve had I’m planning to buy a 9mm. I have a WA concealed pistol permit and have taken the class and completed the paperwork for a concealed permit in UT and OR.

Any suggestions for a specific make and model of gun?
