Yeah…. Your golf analogy has nothing to do with learning how to shoot. My point was more akin to a person that starts out racing dirt track or spec miata has established fundamentals to handle a 500HP race car around a track.
Missed the point. The article says “first gun purchase” and then delves into buying a CC pistol of a large caliber. I have nothing against the G27, and I actually have a G26, but would never recommend either to someone with little to no experience as a first gun. If someone can’t shoot a .22 effectively who in their right mind thinks that someone should have bought and carried something like a G27 right off the bat? Before owning a gun as a self-defense tool, learn how to shoot one effectively and operate one safely first. A .22 is the best platform for learning as well as effective for defending yourself if needed. I’ve put well into the hundreds of thousands of rounds down range and have a wide selection of pistols to choose from for keeping on my person or in my vehicle and have no problem trusting in one of my .22 semiautos.
Self defense calibers? Hunting calibers? People killing calibers? Did I miss something on the calendar about Monday being use lots of meaningless terms day?
I am deathly afraid of people who CCW their first handgun and buying a compact as your first weapon is a surefire way to become a terrible shot.
Both the XD and Glock shoot like dogshit. Best way to learn is on a weapon with minimal recoil and the cleanest trigger break and reset possible. Ruger MKII, S&W Model 41, Browning Buckmark, S&W Model 617 — all in .22 and have near perfect balance — are excellent first pistols because they reveal weaknesses of the shooter. Even better to learn on a rifle but pistol ranges are more ubiquitous. Developing trigger control, proper form, and the 3 P’s (practice practice practice) yield quality shots downrange.
FWIW, I carry a competition grade 1911 (4.26″ bbl Commander size) chambered in 9mm that will shoot rings around any Glock or SD. While shot placement is king when it comes to side arms, I’m running +P+ 9mm HPs that have more energy out of a 4in barrel than just about every .45 load out there. It’s the balance, trigger, and slide mass relative to total mass of the 1911 that allow for far superior shot placement with hotter loads than that of poly pistols.
I only date girls who have dads that are into guns. For some odd reason if you show interest in the implements he’s likely to kill you with before throwing you into a landfill he’ll forget all about the fact that you’re boning his daughter.
*Expensive guns. There’s no fun in telling someone you have a Glock, every gangster has a Glock. A Perazzi worth more than their BMW on the other hand, now that’s a power move.
I hate these people for peering into my soul after getting back to the office from downing a Quesarito and immediately cracking open an autotrader tab.
11) $200 dollars on my AMX with nothing to show for it, damn.
12) Time to creep on her Instagram now that I know her last name, wow she was a dime piece freshman year, lots of potential.
13) Swipe, swipe, swipe. Hey there, what are you up to tonight? Oh, nice, nothing much here, just got back from the gym after helping my friend move since I have a truck. Please God let her like trucks.
14) Shit. Pornhub it is.

Given equal hotness, I choose the country that isn’t fucked up.

Run dude, run, she’s going crazy over one forgotten text to goto the park.
I can confirm that Wisconsin pities Minnesota because you need us to buy beer on Sundays.
I plan on using it to cast a spell over Mikaela to make her mine.
I need to go back to my Viking homeland…

Concern myself with that type of maturity I would not.
This sounds good and all, but if her team beats yours you may just be better off dying than face that humiliation.
I’m only approximately $699,992,000 away from being the richest person in Alaska, there is hope yet!
I saw an ad for cougerlife.com so maybe give it a shot?
