Now try a CZ52.
The keywords are supposed to seperate:how do I fix that?
Sign up for a ccw class and defensive training class then hit the range every weekend for practice.
Did you gesticulate wildly while talking forcing everyone to duck one or more times until the gun owner took it away from you? LOL!
Now learn the operation and theory of it and go shooting.

Don’t point it at anything that you are not ok with shooting. Ever.
Don’t put your finger on the trigger until you have your target in your sights and you also know what’s near or behind what you are about to be shooting at.
Congrats. Be safe. Train regularly.
Good for you. Now go get some basic knowledge, then find a gun store with a range that rents guns. Feel them, fondle them, then rent a few and fire them. From this point forth you'll be hooked, soon you will be a gun owner and before you know it, you'll be a well versed semi-expert on firearms.

What kind of Beretta? A 92FS?
I have them recite the rules back to me at least three times during the session.
1. Treat all firearms as if they were loaded.
2. Never point the gun at anything you aren't willing to destroy.
3. Don't put your finger on the trigger until you are ready to fire.
4. Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.
You need to know these rules and follow them always.

For you I think you should use the Han Solo stance. Stand in a semi-crouch with your pistol thrust forward in one hand and your opposite hand stuck high up in the air and behind you.
Go take a hunter education class, take a ccw class, take a defensive training class, join the NRA, read articles, read more articles, read even more articles, visit gunshops, visit gunshows, ask lots of questions.
There’s a gun club for patriotic conservative Jews who want to defend themselves. I can’t recall what its name is, but you might think about googling it and joining them. Freepers are not victims.
Shooting is a LOT of fun, highly addictive. It puts you in a sort of pleasurable alert trance of concentration and focus. When you leave the range, you have the good feeling of knowing that you can protect yourself. Go for it.
Whilst duck hunting I like to use the isosceles stance with my Bofors 40 mm, because it has a little recoil.
But it blows the mallards right out of the trees!
Never had a gun in my life before Hussein, now I have six since I started last year and that will continue to increase.
If you have trouble racking the slide (pulling back the spring-loaded thing on top that moves in order to chamber a round) on the bigger guns, but still like Beretta’s, check out the Beretta Tomcat.
You can flip up the barrel, drop in a .32 caliber Winchester silvertip then snap it shut, ready to go. Mine’s very accurate, low recoil, like my Bofors.
Or ask mylife to tell you about the small but wonderful, larger caliber Ruger LC9.
(But don’t raise the subject of `striker-fired’ pistols.)
Never under estimate your enemy:
