My purpose is multi-fold:

I want to acquire a gun while it's still legal.

I want a gun for defense of myself, my family, my loved ones and my property.

I want a gun I can use to train regularly and become as fully proficient as I can. I want to know as much as I can about my particular weapon for care, maintenance, and long-term ownership.

I want to become a very responsible gun owner that covers his bases.

Over time (and I know it take time) I want to handle my weapon very skillfully and calmly under pressure.

Then I would suggest as a first time buyer to consider a double action revolver with a swing instead of a fixed cylinder with a 4-5 inch barrel. The .357 is an excellent caliber and you can use .38 special for practice until you are more comfortable firing it. Semi auto are ok, don’t get me wrong, how ever, there many things to remember such as, do I have a round in the tube, is the safety off or on and with a glock, accidental discharge. In the flick o a second that you may have to use it, those extra seconds to remember could cost you. A double action revolver only requires to point and pull trigger and follow up shots where supreme accuracy is required, cocking and taking careful aim is easy. To be proficient with a semi auto requires lots of handling time so there is no second guesses on weather the gun is ready to shoot.
