David, The C&R license is a very good idea but remember that it will not authorize you to possess a handgun in NY State. Only NY State can issue the permit and NY does not recognize any other state's license.

I just bought an Interarms P.08 for shooting. Got it in .30Luger (7.65 Parabellum) and it is great fun to shoot. As previously mentioned it is the caliber that the weapon was first designed to shoot and with the more moderate recoil than the 9mm you might enjoy it a bit more for a first handgun, although truth to tell, my suggestion to new pistol shooters is to pick up a .22 and practice, practice, practice. You can find Stoeger .22 Lugers around for very reasonable prices. I pay 21.00 for a box of factory .30Luger ammo. compared with a small fraction of that for .22 rimfire.

Regards,
Doug
