mighty_man in a couple of weeks, one of the places we always stop is a gun range. I'd actually like to give some thought to my choice of rental weapon, with an eye towards pursuing ownership.
The weapon we always rent, and with which I'm accurate out to 25m, is completely impractical; the FN-PS90 submachine gun. *laugh*
What are your favorite handguns for personal use? What are your reasons for that preference?
If it helps in the recommendation department, I have average-sized hands (I wear a "medium" in most gloves) and relatively light forearms. I suspect that a .45 or .357 is not going to be easy for me to control; something in a 9mm or .40cal (or some other caliber with which I am unfamiliar) might be more manageable.
What I know about guns:
- They are always loaded. I don't care if I just emptied the magazine downrange, it's still loaded until the clip is out and the slide is open, and even then, it might still have a round in it, somehow.
- Only point it at something I am willing to destroy. Paper targets, zombies, home invaders, or the floor.
- They are always loaded.
