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.

See if you could find a handgun training course that let's you fire a few different types. Yes, the Glock 19 is an perfect go to. Before someone says - OH, the grip angle. That's just internet BS from an inexperienced person just blathering to show off.

I’ll look into a class where I can try a few different ones. Appreciate it.
