That's a bad habit to get into!^ It may seem redundant but - no one will ever say "that's a bad habit to get into."
I know, I had to say it just because he said "no one". LOL
Very good habit!

No papers besides the receipt. The G17 will serve you well.I got my first gun, hope all is well. G17 Gen 4. Was really torn between it and the M&P 9 full size. Was I supposed to get any paper with my gun saying what I bought? I just got a basic receipt. It does have the serial on it, but that's it. The guy that walked me out had papers, but brought them back in. I'll have to take a better look inside the case later.

That is a little misleading. You don't need proof of ownership. Treat the receipt like the one you got with your sox. It doesn't do anything for you.Hope you like it. In Texas, that's all the paper you need. Just enough that they can't say you stole it. Now take it to the range and enjoy it.

I sold my glocks after shooting the Beretta PX4 for the first time. I have three of them now. Fantastic pistols in my opinion when you are ready for another.
Agreed! Do I want to use my handgun? Yes, I hate targets without holes that much. Although I train for it, I hope I never have the opportunity to use my gun against another human.The most important thing is to find something that feels good to you. Each person is different, and each handgun fits a person differently. Secondly find a pistol that is reliable. You want to make sure it goes "boom" when you need it.
A nice trigger and fancy sights are an asset when you are at the range trying to make small holes in paper. At night, when some nutcase is walking around in your home; it is a much less important issue. If a pistol fits your hand correctly, you will find it will be everything you need it to be. At close range most of the self defense ammo available today is more that adequate. I love my 1911A1 45 ACPs, but I carry a 9mm Glock 19.
A friend of mine is a retired Fort Worth police detective. During his years at Fort Worth, he was involved in two active shooter instances. When I ask him what it was like, he tells me he really can't remember most of the details. He said he was fixated on the muzzle of the other guys pistol. He said it looked like a cannon pointed at him. He said he doesn't remember getting a sight picture or squeezing his trigger. Each time he fired multiple rounds, but he couldn't tell the investigators how many he had fired. He said when a person is put in that kind of situation, the body goes into automatic self defense mode. Training and being familiar with your pistol is critical to your well being. It also lessens the chance that some innocent bystander will be hit in the exchange of gun fire. You may be justified to use deadly force on a perp, but there is no protection under the law for shooting an innocent bystander. If I ever use my carry weapon, it will be as a last resort.
I have a Wilson 12# on one of my compacts and the D in the fullsize and second compact.What triggers do you have/prefer?
I've got a 45 model with D trigger
