Most male cops carry 9's. 
9 mm ammo is cheap. It's a decent caliber to plink at stuff with and it can put someone down if you hit them in the right areas. Cops wouldn't shoot them if it was pussy ammo. It's not like a .22 or anything.

yeah, most cops use the thunder .380 (I have the same model, BTW) as a backup pistol, or for off duty.
I've read reports of people firing thousands of rounds through those things without a single jam.

Desert Eagles are badass guns. A little impractical and definately overkill...but still badass guns. They usually go for about $1000 or so.

Some cops use Berrettas. Most carry Glocks nowadays. Glocks go for about $550-$650 brand new.

They use nothing but hollow points though. Cops carry them because police issue glocks hold 17-18 rounds.
.22 are awesome if you need to take down cockroaches and don't have bug spray handy.

haha, well i dont know about being a man having anything to do with owning a gun, but i like to shoot!
but then again, i did almost blow my foot off with a shot gun once while i was 15....
tried to snap the action shut while holding the stock only... wellllll my hand was on the trigger and as soon as that breach got half closed... it triggered the pin.........
2 feet in front of my foot, was a hole....

Bersa makes a decent handgun.
I like the fact that it switches from a double action to a single after the first shot, makes the trigger pull very light. I've shot a friends a few times at the range and was suprised that I got now jams in such a cheap gun, even when I tried to jam it I couldn't.
Very good gun for the price.

s&w internal hamer 38. made of scandium. I think thats the type you probably want. Light as a feather small as a mouse. Put it in your pocket and forget about it.
Or let me ask you.......why do you want a handgun? You never seemed the shooting type.

Is anyone else here practically a balistics expert from playing WW2 videogames? (I know it takes about 6 shots of a Luger to drop a Nazi, but only about 2 with a Colt.)
