title sounds like you intend to use the pistol for boasting purposes that could lead to trouble

Shotgun will work better. Chance of missing is low and even if you do miss the sound will scare the ****** out of them.

A handgun will just make them shot back until 1 of you stops firing.

you wouldnt necessarily want a Glock though..you would probably want a Springfield XD-9 because of the additional safeties and nicer quality (IMHO)

Some states you can possess a handgun at 18. To buy one from an actual gun dealer, gotta be 21.

21 as far as I know.

Go 9mm, less stopping power but less recoil = more controllable.
Also, the ammo is cheaper, so you can actually shoot enough to get comfortable with it.

Couple good sights below with info on both the legality of guns and general info.

9MM Highpower, 15 round clip

Highpower comes w/shouldstock?

dude, aboid this gun. it wouldnt strike terror. it'll stike laugher. and u want to be considered seriously when u pull your gun.

Alot of pistols can be fitted with stocks. Though doing it to one makes it a short barreled rifle, and thus illegal to posess unless you have the tax stamp for it.

There's even an attachment for some to mount them to the bottom of a rifle :p
