For the OP: you will find a wide range of opinions on this topic, some good, some poor. The main thing is that it doesn't matter what you choose, just do the research and try them out before you purchase. Find out how they shoot. Many ranges will let you rent a firearm to try out. The main thing is, make sure you can shoot it well, and practice, practice, practice. Always keep up on the practice, because you will lose a lot of the ability if you don't. Just like lunging a horse. Whether it is from range practice or at home using a system like the Mantis X
