  1. My business partner was just talking about trying this stuff. I sent your info along to him. It has always amazed me how many "hobbies" or interests people get into. In the past few years, I've been introduced to pens, cigars, guns, coins/precious metals, and now traditional wet shaving! To each, his own.

  2. What about used guns? As long as they are from a reputable dealer and have all the required paperwork?

     

    If you're careful about things like condition and recalls buying a used gun can be a great way to save some money. Example: Ryan335 (member here) bought a HK 45 USP compact for hundreds off of MSRP and it had only been fired a handful of times. It is in great shape and he saved a lot of money.

     

     

  3. I bought my Glock 26 today and put 50 rounds through it at the range immediately after. Below is the grouping at 20 feet with my first twenty rounds. I like it a lot!

     

    In other news, I was introduced to the Sig P238 today. What a deep concealment option. I'd love to pick one up to replace my LCP down the road.

  4. Would love to join the discussion - went out today with a friend to look at some pistols and rifles.

     

    I would like to just learn how to shoot first, and I heard you should start with a rifle, but honestly I would like to just have a pistol that I shoot with, I am not really sure about CC, being 24 I don't think I want to yet.

     

    What is a good beginner gun - reliable, cheap rounds, easy maintenance. The glocks I looked at were $350-500 used, H&K 500-650 used, I don't think I want to spend over $450 for my first gun - are there any choices at this price range?

     

    Thanks

     

    I highly recommend you go through the CCW process. Whether you arm up in the morning will still be up to you but you will receive a good safety/legal training in the classes and get some exposure to different weapons. I am 21 and have a CCW - it is never too early! (Well, unless you're not 21 yet, according to the law!) I don't think the bad guys care if you're "only 24" or not. I carry a subcompact .380 every day.

     

    I'm with RomanDad on the Glock for a first gun. They're incredibly reliable and all Glocks operate the same way. If you bought a nice Glock 19 (9MM) you could afford to shoot it often and it'd make a good defense gun as well. I'm looking into a Glock right now myself.
