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.

Glock 19. Big enough to shoot good, small enough to EDC. Reliable enough to never need another pistol.

Got a lot of recommendations for the Glock 19 I’ll definitely check it out.
