How to buy a handgun

The best way to ensure that you purchase the right gun for you is to complete a little research first. Read online recommendations and talk with friends who have some knowledge about pistols. Decide on the type of gun and what caliber you want or if you want a day or night time gun designed specifically for the dark.
Hold several different kinds of guns and see what feels good in your hand. Practice shooting to see if it’s comfortable and what the recoil is like. However, don’t feel pressured into purchasing a gun just because someone recommends it.
