I replaced my still lovely Delta Elite woods gun with a G29, years ago, and am far more relieved now.Glocks come with all that extra added ugly at no extra charge.....don’t worry about scuffing them up.

Always negotiate (dicker) with the table-holders at gun shows; if they don't bargain, they're not there to sell anything, they're just getting away from their wives.
A firearm is not your first means of self-defense or defending your loved ones -- your mind and body are. Keep your mind clear (alcohol in moderation, never drugs); exercise your body routinely and regularly, and for gosh sakes, learn at least one method of fighting or martial arts.
Tsk tsk ... shame on me, then. Perhaps sometime in the next 44 years ...If you are a concealed carrier and you've never taken any sort of firearms training class, shame on you ...
Never completely lose the fear/respect that you felt when you picked up your first firearm and prepared to fire it.
Me neither. If I did, I would have had to buy a bigger house a long time ago because we don't literally have room in this house for any more guns/gun safes. On top of that, my wife is the epitome of the woman Corpral_Agarn recommended that gun guy fall in love with - my wife loves guns, hunting and shooting as much as I do. And she has as many guns as I do, maybe more.I also don't buy into the "never sell any guns" mentality.
Vote.
Speak up and be able to have a polite and sensible discussion about your rights with other people.
Dont be a jack wagon.
And please don't anyone tell me that guns are always a good investment. No, they're not always a good investment. One example is the Ruger AR I bought just before the 2016 presidential election. It's still new, in the box, and I'll bet I won't be around long enough for it ever again to be worth as much as I paid for it.
Another example is the Shiloh Sharps .45-110 that has my initials engraved in gold on it. My wife ordered that rifle for me for our 25th anniversary, right after "Quigley" came out. I like that rifle - a lot. It's nice to look at, it's fun to shoot once in a while, and of course it has a lot of sentimental value. But a good investment? C'mon.
This is solid advice.If you think you might possibly be at all interested in playing in a gun game/competing, start now. Don't wait until you think you are "good enough." No matter what, you won't be "good enough" to win when you start, and you'll get better, faster as soon as you start competing... and seeing what the people who actually are good enough do.
Back in 1956, advice from a WWII Carlson Raider. "If you can't think of any thing else to do, stay low, move quiet and go to where you here the guns".
Civilian version: think first, stick with your decision, Never,Ever Run.

Never, ever run? Running is prudent and necessary sometimes.
Try your damndest to never have to actually draw your gun with intent. Once it's in your hand and pointing at someone your life has just become a great deal more complicated even if you are perfectly legally justified in doing so.
Nothing has intrinsic value, whether gold, guns or good red beef..
An item is only worth what you or someone else is willing to pay for it.
Thus, research.
Know what you are looking at.
Know what you are looking for.
Find out what others are looking for.
Make your decisions accordingly.
