[h=2]What do you wish you'd known when buying your first handgun?[/h]
Don't impulse buy, I did that years ago, still regret it. And don't sell it unless you are sure...cause I still wish I had my Bulldog 44 special!
I disagree with the notion you must always train with full power ammo. It depends on what you're working on.
Otherwise, good feedback. Thanks for everyone's input.
Wish I knew then how many thousands of dollars it would take to get me where I am today. I might have instead taken up paper clip collecting, who knows?!?
This. How true this is. That first outing with my new gun was NOT exactly pleasent. Of course I went out and replaced it with a .45, but the point still stands.C) That anything in .40 S&W is generally stupid when you consider that 1) all handguns suck, and 2) with modern ammunition 9mm is fine and dandy
I wish I had spent money on training FIRST before I ever bought my first carry gun.
Reasons later.
Just because it is a "Custom" doesn't necessarily mean it is worth to me what you have in it.
I way over spent on the first gun I purchased myself...bought it from a guy who built it custom...sold it to me for the price of parts. If only I knew then what I know now, I'd have a churchmouse special 1911 for the same price as my "OK" 1911...
