so this is my statement towards all that.
I understand all the "i am only 21" thoughts. and i understand the responsibility that comes with having a firearm. i will be safe. as for the weapon vs gun, i get it. as for why i said i needed more practice with a .45 is because i am not used to the recoil. i have to reset after every shot. with a 9mm i can group well, and fire multiples shots at a time without pausing.
but i appreciate all of your concerns and thoughts.

It sounds like 9mm would be the best caliber for you then. Personally I can't stand the 9mm but I can see why it is so popular. I would just caution against over penetration with the 9mm which is common. A hollow point will help to expend most, if not all of a 9mm's kinetic energy into a target instead of passing through and hitting someone or something unintentionally.
I hope my previous post wasn't insulting, I just feel that some people are a little too casual with firearms and don't really consider the consequences of concealed carry. Personally, anyone that carries a weapon is a threat to me, law enforcement included, so I tend to take the matter very seriously. That and being shot at makes you realize how much it sucks to be at the wrong end of the barrel
