This is a tough one, I know !!
Year's ago I owned a 12 ga. Mossburg and sold it a while ago. Now I am in the market for a handgun. I am not a complete novice but definitely not "Billy the Kid" I have been to the range maybe half a dozen times, renting there handgun's. Desert trips with the Mossburg and thats it, never owned my own handgun.
Physical Stats: 6'0 tall, 200 lbs.....39 years old.
The use of this firearm will be for: Range Practice, Shooting target's on camping trips, self defense.Buying one before this country out laws them.
At the range I have fired, S&W.357, Revolver
Glock 30, 45 cal. semi auto
Sig 40 cal. (don't know the model #)semi auto
44 Magnum "Dirty Harry" Revolver
I have heard the "whatever feels right" thing before, but maybe I will get some different opinions here.
Also we have an "8 year old boy" who has been to the range, he shot the .357 !!!! Home gun security is a.......important.
What are the tried and true, super-reliable, comfortable, accurate, brands model #'s and calibers guy's prefer for an all around handgun's !!!
A big one is semi-auto or revolver. I know there are some dyed in the wool revolver fans out there, tell me why. The semi autos are well....cool, but something about revolver's intrigue me. All the guns at the range where beaters.......Price is relevant, just not outrageous.
I guess with the little guy.... I can't just leave it in my bedside drawer where I would like it ??? If it is locked in fort knox how do you access it when you really need it ???
Any opinions...bring em on.
Thanx Guy's
