Before you buy anything, identify what you want to get out of having that second gun. There are times when the compact or subcompact and full-sized categories can be combined on the range. Want to go smaller? The usefulness of these small guns is extended beyond daily carry thanks to the availability of larger-capacity magazines as well as broad availability of holsters.
The choices are virtually endless but can narrow substantially if you look for those with readily available model-specific holsters and magazine pouches.
Always remember and be willing to admit to yourself that the gun that looked so appealing in the display case or had great online reviews may simply be a poor fit for your hand. I tell people the reason 2 handguns same two weapons is so when the democrats take power and begin gun confiscation then just give up the most worn out one that they know about. Polish the feedramp, better springs, things along that line might make that failure to fire not just go away but also make that firearm more fun to shoot.
Then if none of that works, look into a different firearm. They may be inexpensive and ugly but damn those suckers just work and are accurate. Another consideration, one I was faced with was the similarity in grip angle going from one firearm to another. Try that when switching suddenly to a different firearm, i. American families that possess firearms typically hand them down generation to generation.
The anti-gun mob government included now want to background check the recipients of those weapons. Most heirloom weapons just stay in seclusion and rarely see the light of day. I too had some questions before acquiring the knowledge I learned in the service. I now run Bottle Breacher on a daily basis. Unfortunately, I have found many in the "Firearms Community" to be rude, pretentious, and abrasive when it comes to real world practicality and experience.
Personally, I believe, if you are blessed with knowledge and understanding that others seek, you should be kind and humble in your dealings to make them feel accepted and enlightened. All men and women should be familiar with the four different classes of firearms.
This is just my personal opinion after thinking long and hard about all the firearms I have shot and what each of the practical purposes were. Depending on which manufactures you choose to purchase from, you can probably do it for less than three thousand dollars. That is a whole lot of money but if you're like me and you consider firearms tools and lifesaving gear, it's tough to buy anything else in category that holds or appreciates in value.
I decided only to list four classes of firearms for a couple of reasons. Most of us operate on a budget. If you have ever been gun shopping, you know that they are not cheap. The second reason, I know better than most how important muscle memory is in a life-and-death situation or even in the situation where you have spent time and money to plan a hunt and need to make your first shot count, so you can fill your freezer with meat.
I use the term muscle memory because many firearms have controls of different sizes and shapes in different places. It is hard to get suitable with a weapon when you constantly bounce back and forth between different models. Too many people spend so much time buying, collecting, and shooting their new "toys" that they never get proficient with any of their weapons. One of my favorite quotes is "Beware of the man with one gun, he knows how to use it.
I will be listing them in order of most important to least important. My rankings will most likely be different from yours, but it's good to start thinking about ranking them, in order to decide which ones to spend the majority of your time, energy, and training with. I have chosen the compact handgun as 1 on my list for many reasons; one of which is the location I live in, and also my daily routines and the environment I spend most of my time in, the city.
Unless, I am in my own home, I like to carry my weapon as much as possible. I have had many handguns that I love to shoot. I chose the compact handgun because it is comfortable and most people do not notice it.
Personally, I prefer the 9mm. At this time, my daily carry is a Glock 19, although, a buddy of mine just purchased a smaller Glock 42, and I love how almost unnoticeably it sits in my waistband.
One of the biggest reasons I prefer a 9mm or smaller caliber is because of the greater mag capacity that usually accompanies it. In the few firefights I have been in, I noticed how easy it was to run low on bullets.
Unlike the movies and video games, in real life, there is not an endless supply of ammo and the cavalry might be several hours away. Also, I have noticed with myself, and especially new shooters, that there is often a direct correlation between recoil and accuracy.
This is not because manufacturers cannot make accurate large caliber handguns. Pretty much, it is all operator human error. I have found that as humans, we shockingly finch when a controlled explosion goes off in our hands, and the bigger and louder the explosion, often comes a bigger and more exaggerated flinch. This leads to very poor accuracy. Even seasoned shooters like me still fight the urge to anticipate recoil. They ranged from a. I was by far the least accurate with my.
There are shooters out there who have much better control over the basic shooting fundamentals, but for the rest of us this is just how it is. Given the base of this opinion piece, with emphasis on education, I am going to let the cat out of the bag. I want to say something most operators wouldn't dare admit, and reinforce my decision to prefer a smaller caliber.
