I was thinking if getting a 357 revolver since I had one earlier but they are pretty expensive, so I am really comfortable to 600, but not mutch after that
As the guys have pointed out TRAINING is essential. But before that my first question is to anyone looking to purchase anything is "Whats your budget"?
Then, like others have stated go the shop and rent (tryout) a few items. It is best if you sit with someone like Mike and go through items such as safety, caliber, general knowledge of the weapon and the purpose of the weapon.
Once I decide on a price range I ALWAYS study the ballistic reviews on the caliber I am looking for which depends on why I am buying a weapon. I have seen a lot of people buy a gun just because it was a xxxx or it was a XXXX. I have also purchased those weapons from them since their decision was not completely planned out.
Just my nickles worth....
