I'll start, It began at 21 when on my birthday I went to my local gun shop and purchased my first pistol (although I had shot many, and have been in the military in the past) Very little pistol experience at that point, in comparison to rifles / shotguns. My real adventure started as a child, my step dad taught me basic pistol handling etc, young as fuck. like 5-6-7 years old, through my childhood and teens I would go shooting many, many times with my grandfather while visiting in PA. I knew my way around firearms well by the time i joined the army at 18, got out at 19 (long story), but then as a civilian I started carrying my first "owned" pistol a glock 26, once my concealed weapon permit was granted. Put thousands of rounds through that little fucker and loved it, later i bought shotguns, another handgun a ruger like 4 inch revolver, i think it was a gp100? .357, Idk got it off a boss i was working for in exchange for some pay one week real cheap. Long story short, I had to sell my guns to pay fines, and moving expenses through the years, and now, about 3-4 years later. Just went and picked up a S&W SD9 (about the same as the glock, although heavier trigger pull which i will reduce later), anyways, feels good to be able to defend myself again. It's that comfort feeling only a gun can give, when you know no matter how shitty a situation may end up down the line. You at least can try and defend your life by equal measures.
I have multiple non-violent felons, and non thief felons I know as friends, that I feel sorry for. Because they committed some bullshit drug crime or what have you, they according to the law, don't need the means of protecting there life. Which i think is total fucking bullshit. I also always tell them I would carry anyways, the law does not value my life, it's just some words on paper and almost every level headed person should be able to arm themselves here in the united states of fuckin america! A united states with a firearm in every man woman and responsible childs hands, is a safe america. It would reduce all crime, minus "drug" crime down to nothing if everyone feared if they were out of line they would get shot.
Just my .02, what you guys rolling with, and if you can give a review, please do so. I would give a review on the S&W but i have yet to get to the range.
The glock 26 was great as a carry gun, the only bitch i had was because of big hands, the grip sucked, the groves didn't fit my fingers, and it was way too short. But i imagine for a woman it would be perfect.
