After many years of sitting on the fence, my wife finally decided she wanted to CCW. She settled on a Glock 42. I don't much care for Glocks, but it's still a good choice.
All the above advice is good. I went through this (sort've anyway) a couple of weeks ago when my wife finally asked me to help her buy a gun for CCW. She's an experienced pistol shooter but has never been interested in CCW until now.
One thing that might help with responses is to know your...
Have you tried Gunbroker.com? Used is all you're likely to find since that model hasn't been manufactured since sometime in the 1980s. I used to have one, but really didn't care for it much. And there are much better such pistols available today.
I've been a bullseye shooter for 30 years. But I'm no longer a serious competitor and now do it just for the fun of it. I've been thinking of getting a RO for that. I think it would be a good starter gun for a beginning bullseye shooter, but probably would need some work before a Master class...
I retired 7 years ago at age 60. As I got older, I found myself shooting less and less. I still reload, buy and sell guns, shoot the occasional bullseye match, and compete in my club's summer bullseye league, but don't hop in the RV and travel around the country to matches like I did 30 years...
I've only done it once (not on THR but through a newspaper ad). It was the only gun of its caliber I owned. I threw in a holster and a partial box of ammo for free just to get rid of them. Sold the thing in less than 3 hours.
I have no such insurance. In nearly 40 years of carrying, I've never once had to draw my weapon or even felt like I might need to. Nor has my home ever been broken into. Whatever that insurance costs, it's not worth it to me.
Hey, thanks for the offer. My grandson and his wife are stationed at Moody AFB, so I know what it trip it is from WV. Been looking for a cheap gun I could leave in the car, and maybe the G2 is it.
There's gotta be some quality difference in the newer model. When I bought my PT-111 in 1997 it was around $300. That'd be over $400 in today's money. Makes me wonder why the new model is so inexpensive.
