I fired some kind of Beretta and another semiauto; and a revolver. Next to us at the range were a bunch of young black guys dripping in gold chains, practicing with big scary ‘assault’ rifles.
It was an interesting day, to say the least...
You might drop in at your local gun store and ask to see some small pistols in .22LR or 380. That’s what I did now that I am a million years old, and common sense requires me to step down from the 1911.
