posted this on FRF but this obviously is a site that has more gun gurus especially since all the FRF members who have guns r here lol.hoping i can get some more valuable help here.
so me and my wife decided we wanted to go and get our 1st hand guns. we are gonna do all the paperwork and everything soon but i wanted to start looking into which guns to get. neither one of us have much experience with guns but our family and friends do. we have kids and are not looking to get them just for the sake of being cool or something. we are taking this very srsly. we are doing this for safety and for something else me and my wife can do together. we have a firing range local and we think it would be fun to go fire off a few rounds together. so my Q's are
1.how should i lock them up? we have kids so they NEED to be in a locked secure place. does anyone have a nice setup that i could buy and keep them safe. like a small gun safe or case.
2. whats a good pistol for my wife? want something she can handle but be a quality peice. best bang for the buck beginners pistol...
3. more importantly than #2 whats a good one for me! i will not be taking this on as a major hobby buying lots of different guns so i would like to make my 1st one, a very good quality pistol that is a great all around peice. something quality, that has good stopping power, while accurate and is bad ass looking lol. i am really interested in a .45acp 1911. currently looking at the S&W 1911 E-series CT.i also plan on buying a .22 just for messing around with.
4. best and cheapest place to buy ammo.
5. any accesories worth getting, holsters, cleaning supplies, etc....
luckily we know a guy that owns a local firing range so we will talk with him as well asn see what he suggest but i know we have a lot of gun gurus here that know thier stuff. any comments and suggestions are welcome.
