Not just for target practice; will start that way, but I want self-defense in real-life situations.
If/when I live in a place where ccw is legal, I would definitely want that.
I have little time behind a handgun. I want to change that. At first, since I live in Manhattan, I will need to do my training out of the City (but very accessible, greater metro area). Long term, I want every level of training, licensing, and even certification I can get, all in the pursuit of the most responsible ownership I can achieve.
A revolver is not your normal CCW gun unless you go with a 5 shot snub nose small frame which is okay for close encounters but that’s about all. As you explore and experiment you might find that one gun does not fit all occasions. that is why many gun owners own several for different occasions and applications. Guns are like tools to a mechanic, one wrench does not fit all unless you only have one nut to turn in the same location. Take your time and explore all the possibilities.
I hear a lot about the safety of 1911’s.
