Thanks for the info.
I have a friend who has a CZ9 that I really like. I want to try the Sig. And try out the Glock again before I decide on the 9mm.
I haven’t even tried a shotgun yet.
There is so much to learn and I’ve barely scratched the surface.
First: when everyone says Remi 870 / mossberg 500 for shotgun - its for a reason. I have a saiga and a bennelli as well. But the Mossberg / Remi are the workhorses for sure.
Second - Practice and shoot everything you can. I love Glocks since they are super reliable and simple. you can also interchange magazines for the 17/19/26 I have friends who ha\ve Sigs and HK’s. The Sigs w a full magazine are heavy and the HK have way too long trigger pull for my liking.
Third - .22 Rifle is a must. 10/22 Ruger is the best, but i also have a Marlin Papoose that is increbile for its size and weight. A .22 rifle is the best $299 you will ever spend on guns.
Fourth - AR/AK. If you want to go big - get an AR or an AK. The two are very different. AR is better for accuracy , the AK better for war and spray and pray. You can get an AK for about 600, a good AR for about 900. I have a cienor .22 conversion kit for my AR and it is awesome.
Fifth - ammo - buy buy buy buy buy. You can never have enough.
Sixth - go to gun shows and load up on ammo boxes, and other stuff you cant buy in stores like extra parts, high cap mags, etc.
Seventh - if the wife is a pain in the ass, take her to the range for a day or two and she will be fine.
