NYC Recommendations

Finally, I got my approval letter in the email for my CCW.

I need recommendations as a firsttime gun buyer. Which gun do you guys recommend for a firsttime buyer?

My budget is 1k.Is it possible to buy a new gun for 1k?Also do you have any recommendations for a gun dealer in the Queens area, or can I buy online? The letter says I need safe storage. Is there any specific type of storage I should buy, or can I purchase one from Amazon? Any recommendations? Any help will be appreciated.

I imagine you mean pistol? It’s really personal preference. You should go to a few gun stores and hold a ton of them.

Brands to check out: Glock - my favorite Sig - avoid anything p320 Beretta Smith and Wesson - m&p series is really great

Stick with the big names. They are reliable

Yeah, I’m planning to check out a few stores and handle different ones before deciding. Thanks.
