determine purpose

one that fits your hand


Almost all civilian use guns are for protection in the no-more-than-10 yard- range ... and the favorite gun of the close quarter assassin is a .22 ...
determine purpose


A canon doesn't fit in a purse or a waist band ... girls and smaller men have smaller hands


think .... ergonomics


Baseball players have their bat .... golfers their clubs ... bowlers their ball ..... and they were all chosen for the ability to be used by the one that fit the tool

But what good does a gun do locked in a safe? Does anyone believe that, if you are being attacked, you will have the time and the discipline to open the safe AND protect?

I realize it is a poem; but gun in a safe is no help.

The Bersa 380 is lady-friendly, well-made, and reasonably priced.

Let’s stick to the title of the piece - What Gun Should I Get?”

Simple answer: More than one. Buy weapons that fit your hand(s), with which you’re familiar and comfortable and weapons that function reliably, i.e., ALL the time. Make sure they’re weapons in calibers for which ammo is readily available and keep plenty of ammo on hand. Finally - and most importantly - be absolutely certain that, if you have to arm yourself in the defense of you and your family, you are willing to take a human life.

If you can’t decide, just buy one of each that you fancy.

“With my gun secure in its safe and criminals on the loose,”

How about with my gun just within reach? :-)

Do what I do. Buy them all. Guns have feelings too.

It's been at least 2 or 3 weeks since we had a "I'm getting my first gun, what gun should I get" thread.

I was getting worried.
