I'd like opinions on starter guns:

Handgun:

Walther PDP 4.5" optic ready full size Glock 17 Sig Sauer p320 Some sort of 1911

Rifle: Savage Mark ii Ruger 10/22 (possible tacticool conversion kits for the Ruger?) GSG-16

Any leads on ranges accepting members or crown land in Ontario would be helpful too.

Thank you for any replies!

have a G17 gen 5, triggers is great imo, 3rd party magpul mags are easy to find and between $20-$25. Remember that some firearms like Walther and P320’s have mags that cost $65-$70 and do not have 3rd parties that make mags for them. I have like 15+ mags that i used for my Glock and PCC. I’d go with a glock for a first handguns, but u can’t go wrong with a Walther as ive heard it has the best trigger of all
