awesome. great answers. i figure its just because i am very new to shooting and need to practice to get better. i will check out that chart. thanks! what does "tightening fingers" mean exactly? that's probably what i am doing

this is a great topic. i just got my first gun and dont really know the best way for me to keep it at home. i was thinking about buying a safe for it, but it seems like that's timely in certain situations. let's say i keep it in my droor next to me, do i keep it loaded and cocked? especially...

mine looks normal to me...agree? just want to make sure i shouldn't go complain about it to the seller

i just picked up my new (first) gun. its an XD 9mm service model. i went to the range and it was great (although i noticed that all my groupings were to the left of what i was aiming for). i got home and took it apart to clean/oil. when i put it back together i noticed the barrel was sitting on...

this is good info. i know most of it from the california handgun safety test i took, and the live demostration i was asked to give. thanks though, safety is definitely my #1 concern at all times.

just bought my first gun, SA XD 9mm two tone. tried it out at the range and loved it. i'm a little confused about how cocking works. i know about the cocked indicated on the gun, but when i tried it out, cocking the gun to shoot it wasn't necessary. so, what does cocking the gun actually do...

so sorry:( makes me scared that i just bought my first gun
