Oh, for crying out loud. You know what i was trying to say.
Revolvers are simple and work reliably. Of course, no machine will be 100% forever.

And I'll pretty much never recommend anything else for somebody's first handgun.

Revolvers don't have enough safety features
Posted on 5/15/13 at 6:18 pm to Chad504boy
most of my pistols have three safety features
Posted on 5/15/13 at 7:21 pm to KingRanch
I've got a finger, what other safety do I need?

I might venture to say that hashbrowns is a bit well versed with a variety of weapons

The .22 idea posted previously is a good one. Whatever pistol you purchase you should purchase one that can be dry fired without negative consequences like the glock. When you buy it if you plan to train yourself watch as many YouTube videos of good shooters as you can to learn your grip and after you have mastered the grip dry fire it every night to learn the triggers breaking point and where the reset is and make sure your sights never move. When you feel you have mastered this do it another thousand times before going to the range for live fire. Dry fire at your tv every night while watching tv.

I'm not training to be a fricking assassin.

You would not believe how poorly most people shoot pistols and dry firing first would have solved the vast majority of most of these shooters problems.

Get some snap caps for that .22 and dry fire all you want
Posted on 5/15/13 at 8:21 pm to DanTiger
Well my brother's g/f who has about as much experience with pistols and myself did a damn good job on her first attempt

This will also work. I was just trying to keep things simple for him
