Ultimately, I know I need to rent some pistols at a range to gauge feel, but I like to do my homework first. I'm looking for a first gun, in .45 caliber, primarily for home defense, and when traveling to the desert/mts to go off-road motorcycling with a toy hauler.
Based on reliability, reputation, accuracy, etc. the USP Compact .45 seems like the best of all words.
Question 1: Not sure which variant is best for a newbie to shooting?
Question 2: Now that Beretta has released a .45 version of the PX4 Storm, I'm also very interested in it. Can you explain the technical / safety / and performance differences between the USP Compact .45 and the PX4 Storm .45?
Other things I should consider for this purchase?
I live in San Diego, CA.
Recommendations for a great dealer?
Thanks in advance.
