I'm considering getting a first handgun in the next few months. Money is tight, I'm not old enough to CCW but want to when its legal. I plan on getting a good pump shotgun first, but the next one I'm thinking of is a Walther P99. I'm too poor to buy a .22 and a centerfire, so I figure that it would be worthwhile to get something big enough to do the job if necessary. I'm checking into the laws, and will make sure to get it from a qualified lawyer, but it looks like it will be legal to carry it in the vehicle. I'm also at college and don't get to shoot much, so I don't think I would be able to put enough rounds through either a .22 to justify buying both and saving on ammo, either. I can legally buy one FTF in my state under 21 so thats part of the reason I'm thinking pretty far ahead, if one comes up for a decent price in my state I'll kinda have to jump on it.
I've searched for a while and haven't found a good explanation of all the anachronims used to describe this handgun. I think I've seen DAO, SAO, QA, and some others. I know the difference between single action and double action, but could you fill me in on what these things mean?
