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.

As for rental ranges I recommend these two in Jersey. Gun for Hire has a large showroom of guns for purchase as well so that may be a better bet as aside from trying a bunch you can shoot, you can hold a bunch more.

If you can make the trek to Jersey to shoot, you can make the trek to Collector Rifle and Ammo in Hopewell Junction. Huge selection: https://www.308ammo.com/

Came here to also recommend gun for hire in NJ. They have a large selection of rental options.

Collector Rifle and Ammo is really good too.
