I'm looking to buy a handgun (semi-auto, probably a Beretta 9mm since that's what I'm familiar with). I've had plenty of weapons training but I've never bought or owned my own. There's an Academy Sports a couple blocks from my house that I've checked out a little. Would any of you recommend buying from a large chain store like Academy, or a smaller (and firearm specific) mom-&-pop store?

I bought my Taurus 9mm from Academy. The price was comparable to anything I was going to get anywhere else, by the time you figure in $20-30 FFL transfer and shipping.
