I've been pretty lazy on the firearms front. I own 2 rifles that my dad got me as a teenager.
I'm hoping to buy a couple of scary military grade assault weapons of war (semi-automatic rifles for the sane among you) sometime before election day 2020 just in case it goes a certain way so i can beat the panic price hikes. |

It's not bad really as long as you have a nice heavy gun. My very first gun was a J-frame .357 S&W revolver. It's very easy to shoot whether .38 or .357. It is right at 50 years old now, got it used from a retired police officer.

It's a pleasure to shoot even with full tilt loads. But then, what do I know, I enjoy shooting my Ruger Super Redhawk in .44 magnum too |

My first handgun was a Ruger sp101 with a 2.5” barrel. I still enjoy shooting it and it is my wife’s favorite. She prefers 158g +p .357 for the dramatic effect at the indoor range. It doesn’t bother her one bit

Excellent that you're seeking advice and desire proper firearm/legal training.
I think you'll find most ranges and firearm sellers are pretty straight up and won't try to up-sell you. It's not like you're buying a car, TV or kitchen appliances. Seriously consider Remington 870 shotgun. Point in the general direction and pull the trigger. Are you really going to be that proficient at 3:00 am, awakened from a sound sleep? Ask about 95% of the police depts. in the U.S. what they have and why. Good luck on your training, decision and ultimate purchase. |
