Alright so, i've seen a lot of people get guns and say something along the lines of 'theres a mark here or a blemish there" but the gun is still functional and i dont care. I am a pretty anal person when it comes to getting semi expensive-expensive stuff...i want it to look almost perfect. Should i not have this expectation with guns?
Thank ye sir. I suppose people put up with them because it seems like return processes for guns are a complete pain in the ass depending on where you order from/pick up from.
Yeah, i understand that, but new guns? I'm getting a gun because i enjoy shooting at the range, but i ALSO want it to look cool. That's why i'm gonna pay a lot more for stainless.![]()

Damn, thanks guys. So make absolutely sure it's good before you sign, got it. Anything to look out for? Hopefully it's not awkward inspecting it at the ffl haha.
Rent some 9mm pistols at a local range before you buy. The gun you buy should fit YOUR hand.
Glock 19 is a well-rounded 9mm - good for carry, good for range, and accurate enough. Some people don't like the grip angle though.

So everyone loves 1911s but I hear they mostly suck in 9mm. Is this true?

I mean I guess it isn't a huge deal but maybe I'm more uncomfortable with it because I have no idea what to look for if one of those people who were touching it messed it up, it's pretty expensive (more than (my) clothes), I can't really get extensive time to test it like test driving a car, and most importantly: I can't return it.
I know I'm blowing this way out of proportion. I don't really care that much, just found it odd. I know it's not going to change, lol. Maybe ordering it from the net wouldn't be a horrible idea to put my crazy newb fears to rest (hopefully they don't display/let people touch those, lol...).

Not always. Depends mostly on brand.
You could also get a Browning Hi-power in 9mm.
Well....22 didn't seem powerful enough for my only gun, .45 ammo is expensive, .40 has a shit load of recoil and is still more expensive than 9mm...so that left me with 9mm. Oh, and a lot of people said its a good round to start with.

It is. Not sure why anybody would think bad of it. It's the best priced round of the "real" rounds, and they're fine for self defense if you get rounds specifically designed for that. If you're just shooting paper then it's a perfect round.
There is absolutely no need for 16 rounds in any self defense situations you can come to expect.
If you want a 9mm 1911 style gun, the BHP is the way to go. Just be sure to remove the magazine safety ASAP.
Why are you aiming for 9mm kazaam? Personally I find 9mm to be a sub-par round; I either go large bore revolvers (I prefer .41 magnum or larger), or .45 ACP as the smallest I use. If I would get any other semi-auto caliber right now, it'd be a 10mm gun - probably a Wilson Combat 10mm 1911.
