Gun Buying Tips
Decide what you want to do with your gun. Ask yourself these questions:
How often will I carry this gun on me?
If you are going to carry it often choose the lightest, smallest package.
Will I use this gun for target shooting?
The ideal target gun has a longer, (4"- 6") barrel and is heavier than a carry gun.
How often will I practice shooting?
It takes less time to become proficient with a revolver than a semiautomatic.
Do I prefer to keep my nails long or short?
Even medium length nails can make it difficult to load the magazine on a
semiauto, especially if the magazine well is recessed into the frame.
Is my wrist or grip strength impaired?
Before you buy a semiauto make sure you can pull the slide back, work the magazine latch and fully depress the trigger. I love the size of the Smith & Wesson 380 Sigma but I cannot squeeze magazine latch hard enough to release it.
Is the grip comfortable?
A choice of wood or rubber grips in different sizes is available for most handguns.
Can I see the sights?
I prefer square notch, white outline adjustable sight.
If you haven't already guessed, I prefer revolvers. They are simpler to use.
My range time is limited and I have more success with my Smith & Wesson Model 19 than any other gun I own.
However it is impractical to carry. For that I prefer my Beretta 21 semiauto. The new Beretta Tomcat is also excellent.
