I went the inexpensive route. A 9mm, may be a waste of time but it's much better than my Ruger 22 for home protection. I figure that I can put 6 to 8 hollowpoint rounds into an intruder and they'll at least stop to think about it.
For the range, Wallyworld has the Winchester 100 valuepack for under $20.
I bought a Smith 9mm Sigma, new, for $280. I did take it apart and moded the trigger pull, polished the mechanicals. Is it like a $600 Smith, Glock? Nope. But I can put 6 rounds in a 6 inch circle in 5 seconds. For my gun budget, it was a great value.
Guess I should have thought the 9mm comment out more. When compaired to the higher caliber its more of a waste of time but it does suit differant needs. Personal defence with hallow points is pretty effective. You can stop someone with one or two hallow points. Plus you can usually hold quite a bit in the mag as well. The SA that I posted a pic of can hold 13 in the mag and 1 in the chamber. Thats pretty darn impressive!
