    Too true, and if I had not dithered so much and looked at all the handguns available in the shop, I'd have the M&P 9c as well.

    Hello members
    I recently decided to take the plunge and pursue purchasing my first firearm (handgun). This is after a few years of shooting at ranges in Cape Town, with various handguns and rifles. I've always had a huge interest in sport/target shooting but realise I need a number of questions answered before I spend real money.


    Coming across this thread yesterday and reading the messages of Kinan et al, I knew this was the place to be, hahaha. I have read the FCA (particularly s11 onwards) so I believe I would be looking to pursue a dedicated sports shooting licence.


    What is certain is that I don't have that much experience, practically, in the world of firearms so while I understand certain aspects in theory, I would ask for practical insights from experienced people such as yourselves.


    Questions:
    * Is False Bay gun club a good place to do my competency? And to join as my club. I live in the area but will travel if there is better.
    * Should I think about an occasional sports shooting licence rather than dedicated?
    * Which gun shop is reputable and would be the best to build a long term relationship with? I would like to purchase my first handgun here, as well as a rifle in time. (in Cape Town surrounds). I also factor in maintenence and support, long term.
    * Can I do tactical shooting anywhere, rather than just targets?
    * The big question, which handgun should I buy first? Note below:
    * I don't mind spending the money to buy an objectively good gun. (albeit, over 12-15k might be a bit much).
    * I would want a gun that can be easily supported and maintained. This makes me think a Glock etc, would be best.
    * I would like to carry it edc too. I am 5.7 but stocky so any views on this? I ask as I won't be able to see every gun out there to compare but I do want a larger mag capacity, with accuracy. I originally thought a glock 26 or 43 but this isn't great for the range (primary focus), no?
    * I think I am looking at Cz-po7 (big), Sig p320c, or glock 19.


    I apologise for the long post but it's a big decision with many factors that go into it. I also don't want to rush it.


    I welcome any and all views, questions and feedback.
    Thanks guys

    Hi, I trust you’ve posted in the intro section?
    False Bay is good for fun or sport shooting, check out their web site for more details. They do have a small gun shop so that helps.
    I’m my opinion an all round 9mm pistol for EDC and beginner sport shooting would be G19.
