Not sure if this is where to post this but here goes.
Yesterday, I purchased my first handgun (Springfield Armory XD in .40sw for $388 +tax.) Now I am not sure what to do; so this is a two part question.
1.) What type of handgun and/or safety classes should I take, this being my first pistol?
2.) I live in San Marcos Texas so if anyone on this board from this area knows where to go for said classes I would appreciate the info.
Money is a problem for me, I am a full time college student, working a full time job, with almost no financial aid, so it took me 4 months just to save up the $400 that I needed for the gun. I just want to be absolutely safe when dealing with my weapons. Already I own a Shotgun and Rifle but the pistol I feel requires more training (IMHO). Eventually I wish to save up and get a CCW but that will be way down the road.
