I pulled the trigger...literally

Bought my first firearm. Should pick it up at the dealer in a couple of days. Couldn't find one locally.
Springfield XDm 9mm. It felt best in my hand after shooting it, Glock 17 and 19, a Sig, and a couple of others.
It's my first gun, so don't give me a hard time about it being only a 9mm.

Yeah, I won't be returning that other range that had a rental CZ but no ammo. It's hard to get (at least at a reasonable price) but weird to not have ANY. My regular range limits you to one box - but a box of 100 counts the same as box of 50 for their limit.
I didn't care for the other range anyway. I asked what the difference between the P01 and SP01 was, and the guy just said "I don't know." No attempt to find out. I was kind of testing him, and he failed.
I don't see myself owning more than 3...I'm also getting a little bitty S&W Bodyguard 380. Might get a compact 9mm later. After that, I'd probably sell one if/when I get another - perhaps when I get a larger caliber pistol.

I'd recommend the 3 guns being a carry, a fun range shooter/side of bed, and a shotgun for home protection mainly. The shotgun would be best if your daughter is in her room as it'd power is disipated over a spread as opposed to a single bullet, and it's easier to hit a target in the dark with a shotty.

The Bodyguard was $380 shipped. Not a great deal...I later found out I could have gotten one locally for that, and they're in stock.
Not sure if I like shoulder stock better than mine being a solely a pistol grip. I think for home defense the shouuld stock could get in the way? Any opinions on this?

My bedside first line is a break-action coach gun, it shoots quite comforably from the hip with a stock...
