although the pics your posted are for the full converision kit....which is a nice but pricey package deal man..you get 3 calibers in 1 gun, the barrel is switchable from .357 to .44. to .50 magnum.....and if you aint never shot a gun before and you shot a .50 eagle...man you better be ready for one HELLUVA KICK..
Try a Taurus (the millenium editions are nice)

im not a fan of glocks.....but many people are as they are easy to learn and highly accurate and are indestructable damn near..theyve been tested to death (frozen,ran over,dropped,left in mud,underwater etc) and shot fine each time
theres a lotta accessories too, but careful...glock have no safety, theres the glocklock but it takes a key instead of a thumbswitch

If you wanna get something real nice and reliable (albeit pricey) get yourself an HK (Heckler and Koch)
the USP series is legendary and the Mark 23 was/is used by Navy Seals

the makarov i have i dont recommend, it was my first gun and i only bought it for the silencer that came with it...its nice (picture tha same one James Bond had) but it feels a little girly to me....

MUGG....do me a favor and ask yourself ...
"do I really need a gun"
" can i handle the power/responsibility of owning a firearm(s)"
"why do i need a gun"
its a lotta power in owning a firearms and some poeple cant take it...they get "trigger happy" or feel ike a bigger man owning it.....you seem like a straight cat, but think before you buy man...really.
and never..under any circumstances......ever.....
1. Carry a handgun your not prepared to use
2. "Flash" a strap....dont pull it if your not really gonna use it, if you show it then blow it...never threaten with a gun...worst mistake you'll ever make
3. Carry a gun for no reason....idle guns are the devils breeding grounds
4. Solve a fistfight with a pistol.....thats for suckas.
all im sayin is think before you buy.....im out in frisco, if you want some help dogg come holla at me, its nothin..i'll take you to the range and help you pick one out
Your also gonna need to complete a BFSC test to get your card....(basic Firearms Safety Course) cout about $20-30 and its a basic test, they give you a book to study for a week, go back take the test...done
and of course....no felonies,restraining orders, history of mental illness...etc...and your good to go...
im here if you got questions...get advice before ya buy
