Sounds like 9mm is probably the way to go for me since I really have no experience with anything and not enough money to pay twice as much for ammo.

As for home defense, I go to school at Ohio State in Columbus and the neighborhood I live in is not too bad as far as off campus housing goes. The town I grew up in (and live in during the summer) has an almost non-existent crime rate. That being said the clear majority of the usage will be at the range.

By the way the XDM 9mm has a 19+1 capacity I think do any other pistols on the market have that big of clip size without being modified?

Oh and by the way k9870 I have not really looked at any revolvers I guess they haven't really caught my fancy at all. My dad used to have a S&W model 66 with a six inch barrel from the 70's awhile back and I know he loved it I just never imagined a revolver as my first gun I don't have a good reason for that though.
