Get to a range and try a few handguns and find one you like. Hubby and I really enjoy going to the range for our “ballistic therapy” and also trap shooting - which we just started. It’s so fun to see the clay pigeons get blown to bits in the air!
We used to shoot ‘clay pigeons’, too. (Until my husband (ex) got all upset because I never missed - and he never hit.) LOL!
