Frequently Asked Questions
I'm brand-new, how do I get started?Fantastic! You can get started in handguns with either the NRA Basic Handgun or the Basic Defensive Handgun. Both courses include an NRA Certificate of completion that can be used to apply for a concealed carry permit, if interested. In either class, you are also welcome use my guns as loaners at no additional charge.
Each class covers the basics of safety, types of handguns, operation and marksmanship. Once you finish this course, you will have the knowledge and skills needed to be a responsible gun owner. |
What gun should I buy?For a first handgun, I recommend you find a full-sized, striker fired 9mm pistol. This will be simple to operate, fun to shoot and great for home defense.
An FBI study released in 2014 found 9mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP calibers roughly equivalent in stopping power and recommended that law enforcement use 9mm due to increased ammo capacity, low recoil and price. |
