I am looking to buy my first handgun. I have very little experience with guns, though I did shoot rifles when I was a kid.

Can you give me some advice on buying one or point me to some good resources?

    It does depend on the use case and I do agree comfort and aesthetics are important. My use case is preparing for whatever comes next in US society as the contradictions sharpen. So, for me and people I work with, we all want to be able to share with each other in a crisis. That dictates you train with the tool for the job and that means practice with glocks even if you don’t like them.

    There’s a fair amount of people that want their ccw to train with and carry. Obviously we’ll still train and build community if they’re on the left. But any rational person on the left is not trying to be rugged individual Rambo, they understand community is more important and that they’re not going to be John wick with a pistol.

    That being said any rifle in the hands of a socialist is a socialist rifle. I don’t care if it’s a galil. We don’t have time for that kind of bickering.
