Harry Potter, if you haven't any experience with guns, i would suggest you start off by getting a .22 target pistol ( like the Browning Buck Mark) or a .38 revolver and practicing with it for a while. Then you work your way up. You learn control and aim better that way.

I have shot guns a few times never anything stronger then 9mm however. I recently have considerd getting a .38 snub nose to start off with, since I don't own a car something like that would be easyer for me to carry around if I had to. so I will consider your advice when I finaly decied to get a gun.

I have to take care of a pesky Consumption of Marijuana warrent first(I assume that would show up on my background check and prevent them from selling me the gun?)

Good for you Harry_potter. Will you be doing competition style shooting or target shooting exclusively with this gun? BTW HK's are a good quality handgun it's a good choice.

I will just be doing Target shooting to start, I would like to get into some Competition style stuff some day. I also might go take this Anti-Terrorism Course that is near where I live looks like a kick in the pants.

And yes I know HK is good quality that is how I like to do it with everything. if I can not affored the best I will wait till I can to me you get what you pay for.

would you say HK is better then Sig?
 
HK and Sig both make first quality guns, highly reliable and accurate. It's really a matter of choice. You should go to a range and rent both kinds, and other types, and try them out first. Most indoor ranges have a wide selection you can rent for like $5-10 a session. HKs have a different trigger system to get used to. Some think it's not as smooth as the Sig. Most importantly, find which fits your hand best.

Snub .38 is good, but if you can't carry it legally, don't. Get a .38 with a 3" barrel and use it to target shoot. The longer the barrel the better for practice.

Thanks for the knowledge, I did not think they would have gun's such as Sig and HK to rent at a gun range. I will look into that, if I am going to shell out so much money I want a test drive.
I think it is so funny how many people want a .50 Desert Egal without realizeing it has the power to come back and knock you in the nose.

As the .38 snub, I would not use it for practice if I ever used it more then likely would be against someones head. I just want something for protection have considerd a shotgun for the home but think a .38 would be good since if I had to I could carry it around without people knowing. where I live it is not to difficult to get a Conceal and carry permit I may apply for one but I don't do dumb shit so I really have little to worry about.
 
Yeah, good ranges have a lot of guns you can try out. Some even have machine guns. But take an introductory gun course or class that ranges usually offer. It gets you familiar with the range, some of the instructors, and how they do things. And then after the course, you feel comfortable just going in there and shooting. Places usually have an NRA course that's good.

Newbies usually always want the most bad-ass gun they've heard of. Desert Eagle or .44 Magnum. What's the use if you won't be able to fire it accurately? You fire at the bad guy with the most bad-ass gun and miss, and he shoots you in the eye with a BB gun and kills you. So the answer to the newbie' s most asked question, "What's the best gun?" is: the one you can hit what you're shooting at with.
 
Harry yeah you might want to handle your warrant first. I agree with Jokerman, start out light with a .22 that way you don't anticipate recoil and "flinch" aka push the gun down before you shoot.

A .38sp snubby would be a good carry gun nothing at all wrong with them. Shotguns are excellent hand artillery for home defense, I am thinking of getting a AK or shotgun for my trunk for my personal car.

Indeed, safety first.

In the past two days I spent about 400 dollars on gun stuff.
Click to expand...
I hope you have a good excuse for only spending $400. :mad: Such as, you ran out of money or the gun shop was closed.
 
lol, I got some gunsmithing tools, and then bought 4 magazines, then got about 200 rounds of ammo, and range time, and then new 1911 holster and mag pouch.
 
^You showed good self-control.

On the other hand, you know you're a gun nut if you inadvertantly buy the wrong ammo and then end up buying the gun that they would fit.
 
rofl I am looking for a new gun, and want another 1911, but I am tempted to buy a .22. ARGH... I went to like 3 gunshops and I am supposed to be at home resting. I think I need to go to gun rehab. BTW the 1911 US GI looks nice I want one... Two more 1911's then I want to build a couple ...
 
You love them 1911s. My girl is Beretta still. I'm also looking into H&K. But right now i'm loving the Beretta PX4 Storm as a carry:
