Inquiring minds have asked, so here goes some background. first experience with shooting beside BB guns. Was approx. as an 8-year-old skinny kid. Adult gave me a shotgun, took one shot it knocked me to the ground and had a sore shoulder for a while. I have looked back on it as irresponsible adults looking for a laugh.
Then in my twenties acquired a snub nose 38 special unable to recall brand/model. Had it for a bit but money was tight ending up selling it. Many moons had passed finally decided it was time for a home defense firearm. Ended up with a Glock G45.
Since then, have went down the rabbit hole.... but I do my research and research and rent before I purchase. 1911, Mossberg Shotgun, SW Shield Plus, TX 22, Ruger 22, SW BG2.0. Member at Indoor range, try to go at least twice a month. Consider myself an average shot, my son says I must have been a cowboy in a past life due to the fact that I shoot better one-handed.
