Hey guys i just got my purchase id card and have never even fired a gun up until a few weeks ago when i was on vacation. I randomly called an indoor shooting range in Florida and told them i've never shot... before i could even finish saying that they said "C'mon Down!!!" lol so they put a glock 21(.45 cal right?) in my hands and gave me a good course on safe handling instructions and range rules. First clip from 10-12 yards i did good! next 2 mags i got a little nervous because i started to realized this was a bigger gun lol and started shaking a little bit but steadied out on last 2 mags. Afterwords he told me he wanted me to start off with a bigger bullet with kick... because everything else should be easier lol (I like that southern thinking lol) it was a pretty funny/awesome experience! Intimidating at first but they ended up being very nice and didn't laugh to much at this jersey boy lol.
My next step is to go back to my local PD and put in for a handgun (PID took 3-4 weeks i think). So not sure how long that will be. no one told me to also put in for handgun at the same time even if i wasn't sure on what i wanted.
I'm kinda set on Glock for first gun as i popped my cherry with it and i'm thinking glock 19,and maybe Sig as second as i'm not sure how often i'm really going to shoot i'd rather start a little smaller and work my way up on the handguns... this way when my other family members decide they want to shoot i can start them off with a smaller glock 19 and we can use it as a beater to fire a ton a rounds through.
ok thats my intro!!
more posts to come!
