After a lot of research choosing to buy a 9mm pistol for personal protection was the best decision for me. I live alone and get nervous at night when I am by myself. I live in a fairly safe neighborhood but having protection at my fingertips provides me with a sense of relief. Searching for a safe to keep the gun in  was fairly simple and inexpensive. Finding 9mm ammo for sale wasn’t a problem. I practiced with 9mm pistol and the 45 automatic Colt pistol at the shooting range a few times. The 9mm pistol felt more comfortable and easier to use than the .45 automatic Colt pistol.
