Smith and Wesson M&Ps I heard are good quality, but I don't know for sure. What guns/calibers do you recommend for occasional pleasure shooting along with personal protection? (plan on getting a carry permit this week, so also something that isn't too bulky to carry)

Thanks for any advice you can give me!
Hey JT
Your options are wide open.
My advice is start with 9mm because its cheap and readily available. It is deadly enough for personal defense.
Glock is reliable and easy to maintain.

I have a few you are welcome to compare and a range close by where we can shoot anything you want to try. I will be in town this week if you care to demo a few.
