I'm not a huge fan of Glocks, mainly for their aesthetics, but there is no denying that they are well-designed, rugged handguns that are simple to maintain and shoot, and they are cost-effective. 9mm is the way to go - low recoil, ammo is cheap and available.

There are many, many, many excellent handguns out there, most of the good ones between $700 and $1000. Glocks and M&Ps, at ~$500, are a bargain as defensive firearms.

Please do not try to teach yourself how to shoot your new firearm, and please do not rely only on the instruction course required for your handgun or concealed-carry permit. Get additional training that focuses on how to use a firearm effectively and how to take care of it. THEN go out to the range and shoot it and practice with it. A lot.

As a size reference, M4A1Mustang posted above, what appear to be a Glock 26, Glock 19, Glock 17.
Well we have no concealed weapon law so the gun must stay at home or taken to a range. Thanks for the suggestions.

Don't worry I will not be "teaching myself" I want to get good training for all aspects of shootong, owning, maintaining guns

Dude, if you wanna take the drive north a lil bit into lake county, there is a really awesome range I go to all the time. I know the owners decent and they have instructional courses and rental guns so you can get a feel for what you like best.

I would try to avoid doing anything firearm related in cook county. BTW, do you have your IL Firearm Owner ID (FOID)?
