Hitting the gym to become a swoletariat, looking to arm myself as well.
I’ve gone shooting before, and my Dad just bought a couple guns himself because of all the pogroms he’s been seeing against Muslims in ingerland.
I’m based in the United States of Amerikkka, mods please let me know if this isn’t allowed!
Ok. My recommendation will be to try a couple different handguns out at the range, from the ones that have been recommended here. See which ones fit comfortably in your hands. Try a lot of them and take your time, don’t rush.
For conceal carry, focus on size. A gun that is too big or uncomfortable to carry doesn’t get carried. It may be a little less comfortable to shoot, but that’s the tradeoff. The big brands are the way to go (Glock, Sig, S&W)
