The Fundamentals Of Firearms Revealed

The 3 major and basic things to consider for people when choosing a firearm whether for self-defense or close protection should be:

Caliber - Accuracy - Reliability

Accuracy- Is a direct result of weapons training and the component you can most impact. Today's modern guns are certainly accurate straight from the producer. Accuracy is just not attained over the gun but through the operator.

So you will need to train, train, train to be accurate. Then together with training when you are in a stressful situation your most likely will not be as accurate while you are at the range. So train and train some more.

Caliber- I am a firm believer that a lot of people should consider shooting the largest caliber and heaviest load that they can shoot accurately. Caliber has no affect if you cannot shoot accurately and hit your target/threat.

I highly recommend nothing smaller then a 9mm, 9mm,.40,.45 are my favorite calibers. With one of these calibers you are provided stopping power. Accuracy should often be more important than caliber.

Reliability- Today's modern guns are built with good standards and also are mostly reliable. Choosing a handgun manufacturer can be difficult occasionally. Do your research and select a manufacturer who is handguns will with stand up to the pressure of everyday use for training and practice.

The final thing you want is definitely an unreliable handgun whenever you need it the most. So please review your handgun manufacturers and quality pistol due your investigation. I have listed four very respectable gun manufacturers:
