Hello /w/. This guide is intended to point you in the direction of buying your first handgun. After reading this you should have a good idea of what form factor to look for when you start shopping. I encourage everyone to do their own research. I won't tell you what brand or model to buy or what you should have your handgun chambered in and I'd really rather no one else did either.

First of all, If you have never held a handgun or any firearm in your life do not buy anything until you have been taught properly. Gun ranges usually offer basic safety courses but if you know someone who owns a firearm or two and has some experience, ask them to teach you. These are the most important things you will learn: You do not ever point a firearm even if it's unloaded at someone or something unless you intend to kill or destroy. You do not put your finger on the trigger until you are ready to fire at your target and know what lies beyond it. Trigger discipline is the most important part of handling a firearm. The ultimate safety is your trigger finger. Modern firearms do not go off by themselves. External Safeties exist to protect you from fucking up and causing a negligent discharge, nothing else.

Once you are confident in your ability to properly and safely use a handgun and are ready to buy one, you should decide what it will be used for. Different handguns fit different roles. For strictly home defense, I think most people agree that a 12 gauge shotgun with low recoil 00 buckshot is ideal. They are much cheaper than handguns and are much more effective. It is very easy to miss with a handgun in a tense situation. With a shotgun it is much more difficult to miss your target at typical indoor distances. For concealed carry, an automatic handgun that does not have a manual safety is ideal. You shouldn't have to worry about switching off a safety when your life is in danger. You might consider a revolver for their reliability. It's entirely up to you and what you are comfortable with. If you want a handgun strictly for plinking, buy something in .22 Long rifle. The least expensive .22LR ammunition is on average around 0.035 cents a round. If you want something a little m

Hey /w/, this is my new (to me) Ithaca 37 pump. It is a 12 gauge 4+1 capacity shotgun with a 28" barrel. This was on sale at the gun shop for $500.00, and as you know I was able to barter it down to 350.

According to diamond gunsmithing, this one was produced in 1956. It's wonderful to have a classic like this.

It's as if this shotgun has barely even been touched. The previous owner took really good care of it. The action sounds very clean and crisp, too.

The shell ejects out the bottom, right where you load it from. It makes the shotgun friendly for right and left handed users alike. I happen to be a right handed shooter, so it doesn't matter to me that much. Hope you enjoyed checking out my latest addition. Those of you who know me know that I name my guns, but I haven't decided on one for this one yet. The thing I like best about this shotgun is that it was designed by the great, and renowned John Moses Browning. Browning's guns are the best in the world, bar none. Feel free to comment.

Anonymous 09/11/20(Fri)14:22 No. 6564 Sir, you purchased a very beautiful shotgun at a very reasonable price. These fucking philistines have decided that you were not worth their time. Well shame on them. I commend you for purchasing a shotgun made in 1957, it is a testament to the value of true craftsmanship that seems to be lost on today's culture. I am ashamed of you /w/, very ashamed

So was a present.
It's a spotter scope. What should I look for to see if it's good quality?

Hey /w/, I am new to guns and my father recently passed away leaving me his entire estate, having said that he was a gun enthusiast, wishing to carry on his memory I want to know more about the guns he left, and if they are good to learn to shoot with. From what I can identify with just basic knowledge, two 22. rifles, a 22. pistol, a 45. colt 1911 model i think, some Spanish/African pistol, i am unsure "Eibar" looks like a 38. and a 12 gauge shotgun, and a single shot rifle called a "snake charmer" I don't know much about weapons so if i said some thing stupid i apologize.

(pic related: The Eibar 1929 model similar to the one i have)

i need your held to decide which gun to get. I have two choices, an $80 Mosin or i could build myself an AR-15. ammo for the mosin is $90 for a can of 440 bullets.

pic sortof related, its the gun i wish i had.

ITT: YOUR ARSENAL

Can someone tell me the EXACT name of this German tank?
