Thank you to everyone who offered advice regarding my purchase decision. I wanted to provide you all with an update on what I ended up buying. I visited Miller's Gun Center in New Castle, DE, where they have a fantastic selection of over/under shotguns and an incredibly helpful staff...
Thanks, slsc98, for your thorough response! Currently, I'm using a Beretta Xcel semi-automatic shotgun, although it's been sitting unused for quite some time. Upon taking it out recently, I noticed a significant issue with my head position—it's positioned too high, causing me to look down on the...
Hi Shooters,
I'm interested in purchasing a 12-gauge OU shotgun specifically designed for clay sports. While considering options, I've come across budget-friendly Turkish models like the Mossberg Gold Medal Reserve Super Sport. However, after reading reviews, concerns about reliability have...
Hi All,
I am looking to get a shotgun for home protection. Any suggestions on where I can buy one at a reasonable price. Last time I bought a shotgun it was from Wallies for around $200. I suspect I will need to go somewhere else and pay more.
I live in Central Maryland.
Thanks...
Wow, I'm going to tell my buddy he is getting into shooting at the wrong time. Expensive guns and ammo shortages. No telling how bad it could get depending on the election.
Hi All,
Is the Gun Show a good place to buy 9mm Ammo? Can I find better ammo prices online? I know the prices are inflated everywhere :(
Thanks All,
Eric
I hear what you are all saying about going to the range and trying guns. I think that is great advice. I think it might be better advice to someone that has already shot 1000's of rounds (which doesn't take long). We are talking about a brand new shooter that probably doesn't have the ability...
To some extent I agree. I just don't want him to find a Eric Point 9mm that fits great in his hand and has an appealing price tag. I would rather that he get used to a handgun that is easier to clean, has better aftermarket support, is more reliable...
I can point a Glock at a target faster...
Hi All,
Someone suggested that my buddy go to the Gun show to find a gun he likes and buy it. This is my buddies first hand gun. I disagree with that advice. I think you should know exactly which gun(s) you want before you go to the gun show. At least have a list of guns and then hold...
Hi All,
I was talking to a friend that is Right handed and Left eye dominant. He told me that his firearms instructor told him that he will need to shoot a long gun left handed. My knee jerk reaction is your eye dominance doesn't matter if you close one of your eyes when shooting. I know...
Hi All,
I am about 99% sure you are not allowed to lend a hand gun to a friend. I would like to lend a gun to a friend to take home and use on the range at his leisure. He does not have an HQL either. OK, I know you think my account got hijacked. Please let me know if you are allowed to...
