SF, I've carried a 45 for the majority of my life-time and I'd like to recommend that you check out a good number of CONCEALED CARRY sites before you purchase your first 'handgun'  ..... and in the rare event that you plan to eventually use it for self-protection, I sincerely recommend that you check out the CC insurance policies which are available.

Be aware hat in today's so called society ... the individual you kill or injure in order to protect yourself or your family .. that individual's 'loved ones' will sue you within a court of law .... and that will cost you many thousands ... so be prepared!

Also ... Check out the CC requirements which are set by law within your home state.

And NEVER carry any fire-arm when you leave the house with the intent to go out drinking and raising hell.

I realize that this is basic advice ... but important nonetheless!

My main goal is to leave it at home for protection.

My girlfriends uncle is part of the NRA and an approved and licensed trainer, etc. I plan to meet up with him in the next few weeks.

I’ve been shooting for the last 5-8 years with some friends back in my home state. Just never actually owned my own handgun.

OK ... Home protection laws are somewhat different within each state, so get familiar with those laws and learn when you have the 'right' to shoot a home intruder between the eyeballs or give him a seond chance by shooting one of his knee-caps off.

It appears that your friend will be knowledgeable enough to give you some damn good advice.

Last comment ....Lock up your weapon at home so that your kids, friends, etc. don't have a snowball's chance in hell to get their hands on it!

Carried a gun legally for over 35 years. Legally allowed to carry in 50 states. I went through a lot different guns from Sig, Glock and Koch. I always return to a revolver. One thing I noticed through the years is that the average gun enthusiast is a really bad shot during non stress target shooting. In real life the target is moving, possibly you are moving and the target can kill you. It makes for a difficult target acquisition. One thing for sure. If you are a good shot with a .22 long rifle you will be a good shot with just about any caliber. It's all the same skill set.


A couple of safety reminders.

 A gun is always loaded even if you checked it hundred times. This will keep you from pointing it in the direction of somebody or your person. A good practice is to pretend a laser is coming out of the barrel to make you aware of where that gun is pointed. Keep your finger off the trigger until you want to fire a firearm. You finger only goes on the trigger when you want to fire it. At the range the muzzle is always down range. Don't wave that business end in the direction of anyone. Always down range.

Totally agree on revolvers.

If you keep your gun locked up in a safe at home good luck getting to it quickly in a home invasion or any other scenario where immediacy is required.

However, if you are only prepping for the complete breakdown and utter lawlessness of the apocalypse then you'll have time to get it out.

You’re becoming very manly. I assumed that was natural progression after buying guns.

Lol I’ve always enjoyed shooting guns and have for years.

[Darren Avey]

I want a gun.

[IRON CROSS]

Sucks, I am jealous 

[SF1900]

Liberals enjoy and own guns. They just don't want everyone else to own one.

Agreed. Those damn liberals and dems!

Remember when _aj_ was telling everyone about his gunfights? The ones where nobody actually used a gun.

Yes, AJ had multiple gunfights without actually having a gun fight.

Have fun. Not a fan of .40.

He is a jealous little beggar and can’t afford luxuries like guns! (A weapon should not be considered a luxury!)
