Went through the loading and unloading of the 887 at home today and she is good to go and in her safe spot. I feel so much better about this whole thing now, I spoke with my instructor on the phone today as I was loading and unloading the shotgun and it made me feel at ease. It's not hard to do...

Yeah I think so too. The 686 was more difficult to shoot for me. The hand positioning on the grip felt awkward but got better and I realize what he's trying to get me to do it's just that slightly bending forward and having the gun straight out is tricky and the gun is deceivingly heavy...

I had a blast today at my lesson. The instructor was awesome, fun and super professional. I got the bug. We started with the 357 with .38 Sp ammo. He went through the basics of holding the gun, body positioning, establishing my dominant eye and loading. We ran off a few rounds of 3 double action...

Well I received my hand gun licenses yesterday and am going down today to get my gun and take a lesson with the guy at the range with my 887 and my S&W .357. I am so excited. Honestly at first I was pretty uptight and nervous about getting into this again but I feel pretty relaxed and ready to...

Thanks so much. I did find a shop I like, Personal Defense in Raleigh, great shop with a range. People were really cool and spent a lot of time with me. I ended up with a Remington 887 and a S&W .357 686 4". They let me handle all the shotguns at the place and the 887 fit my hand and body the...

Thanks Bob. Will do.

They gave me the name and number of the local gun instructor.

Spent the afternoon at the shop here and had a long time to talk with the guy and try a bunch of different guns and bought: S&W 686 4" .357 Remington 887 18" Shotgun They felt the most comfortable to me. The shotgun is f'n badass. Wow. I signed up for a beginner class too. Took a lot of advice...

Thanks guys. Yeah I definitely need some in person help and one on one training. There's something a little intimidating and somewhat unfriendly about all the gun shops I've been to. Could be I'm just a little uptight about the whole thing and don't know s@@t. Lol. As far as the '2 shots'...

Like this: Remington 870 12G 5077 Tactical 18 12 NIB for sale (917102644) Does it load 2 shots?

Man thanks guys for all the great posts. I spent the afternoon gun shopping, man every shop I went to was packed! Good business to be in. Checked out a S&W .38 Sp Airlight (I think that was the name), no hammer. Seemed nice but felt small in my hand and oddly uncomfortable. Is that common? The...

Hey everyone, I'm new to the site. Looking at getting a revolver for home defense. I live in a house and have 2 little kids. I use to be in the military and used an M16 and carried a 9MM as a medic, I also personally had a .357 and .38 Special. It has been 20 years since I have handled a weapon...
