But if you’re staying, what will the gun be for? Home? Carry? Mostly in the car but won’t carry? Keeping in a safe and taking out every once in a while to show friends or take to a range?

Chits sold out everywhere. Still worth waiting for a good gun instead of getting whatever BS they have in stock. Glock 19 is generally regarded as the best all around handgun to start with. Doesn't do anything the best, but doesn't do anything bad.

Sign up to all your local gun stores' IG and twitter accounts, because they'll post when things will be in stock. And when you get the alert, be prepared to run there (and also be disappointed when other people get there before you).

Right now, you're looking at buying whatever you can get your hands on. Beggers, choosers and all that chit.

I'd say a Glock 17 or 19 if you had a choice, but you really don't.

Mines a Ruger American 9mm, but honestly it's a little too big for an everyday.

Good cheap gun though, tactical.

Well, with the availability right now, the only thing you're gonna find are 22s. Nice thing is the ammo is still relatively cheap and available compared to everything else, so you'll at least get practice.

Few online gun stores worth following, just keep checking back to see what's in stock and you can get lucky; got my Glock 19 Gen 5, took a week of checking back daily but it comes and goes.

https://www.budsgunshop.com/index.php

In stock but a bit over MSRP, but it is MOS version.

Gen 4 too.

I live in Illinois. Just go to Gun Broker and have them to ship to your nearest FFL

$500 will get you something nice, any idea what you want?

Not sure on IL laws, but when you look at the shipping details it will likely say.

Yeah, unless you buy from LEO you're boned, CA laws suck; if I wasn't exempt I'd have to pay ~$1200+ for a Gen 5 Glock.

It's not the mag size, CA hand gun roster; pretty much no new guns are on it. CA requires the gun to microstamp the brass with a serial # that can be tracked to that gun with each round fired.... but the technology to actually do that doesn't exist and a simple firing pin swap would defeat it anyways.

Commifornia at its finest.

Other rules too that no gun manufacturer is going to bother with, so unless LEO you're assed out or pay high PPT for it.
