How to Buy a Handgun

[hodgepodge]

This is the definitive guide. A wealth of great information, much of which I'vw heard here, but never summarized so well!

I refer to this extremely helpful guide every time I head to the gun shop.

This is kinda funny! Worth the time to watch. I'm running out to get a Glock before I die!

Is it wrong that I thought the character with the parka was gonna pull a piece out and try to sell it FTF?

Interesting.

I swear the guy in the blue and green sounds like George Carlin to me

Ill keep this in mind when buying my first handgun.

I can sum it up easily enough:
1. Go to Mark at 2A
2. Drink the coffee
3. Eat a donut
4. Wake up with receipt in your pocket
5. Wait 7 days
6. Visit Mark again, after locking wallet in the glove box
7. Pick up new purchase

Really funny, and true, video!
When I bought my first handgun I went to a bunch of stores and asked questions. I wound up taking a lesson from someone who brought a bunch of guns in different caliburs and let me try them. I bought a Sig P220 - which I rarely shoot now. I wonder what the pressure would have been like if I could only buy one...
One thing that is frustrating is that the 'literature' is biased towards new/popular guns that must do a lot of advertising. So many people in the market are only exposed to a fraction of what is out there. I love my CZs, and they are a couple hundred dollars less than the 'popular' all metal handguns.
