What You Don t Know About Handguns

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

Caliber - Accuracy - Reliability

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

So it is important to train, train, train to be accurate. Then in addition to training whenever you will be 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 many people should consider shooting the largest caliber and heaviest load that they may shoot accurately. Caliber has no affect if you can't shoot accurately and hit your target/threat.

I highly recommend nothing smaller then a 9mm, 9mm,.40,.45 are my favorite calibers. With these calibers you are provided stopping power. Accuracy should always 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 at times. 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 last thing you want is definitely an unreliable handgun when you need it the most. So please review your quality handgun manufacturers and due your research. I have listed four very respectable gun manufacturers:
