Hello all. I am new to handguns and am on a search for a my first semi-auto and am considering a factory refurbished Taurus pt908 9mm, stainless steel, one mag, all for $300 plus tax from a local gun shop.
the other is a used like new EAA Witness .45 ACP in the nickel/lustre finish. It has a ported barrel, and comes with 2 10-round mags. shot less than 2 boxes of ammo through it, also comes with 100 rounds of plinking ammo, and 50 rounds of good hollow point ammo and no taxes direct from a local, for $325.

Which would be best for a starter looking for something to shoot with, and use for home defense?

Will also post in the revolver forum, looking for a revolver for the wife for home defese.

Thanks as always
