Semi-automatic pistols for Minnesota carry and range use

Most pistols sold into Minnesota are 9mm, and for good reason: ammunition is cheap enough to practice with through a long indoor-range winter, and compact 9mm models disappear under the heavy coats people here wear half the year. Think about that coat when you choose. A slightly larger grip is easy to hide in January and easier to shoot well. Rimfire pistols make sense for new shooters, and a 10mm has a following among people who fish and camp in bear country north of Duluth. A dealer can only hand over a pistol if you show a permit to purchase or transfer under Minn. Stat. 624.7131, or a permit to carry from your county sheriff. We ship to the FFL you name. Read Minnesota permit to carry before you carry it.
