I am a female and own a revolver and nine. Both are awkward and heavy. This video has helped me tremendously. Most gun counters I have perused did in fact do as you said. They attempted to sell me the latest model or coolest color. I am going shopping today for the Right Fit.Thank you.

I've not really known much of what you explain in this video. Yesterday after purchasing the 9mm XDm and the XD .45, I paused the video and jumped on checking my grip.

I definitely got the right guns for me. Accuracy didn't lie.

[brian47374]

@DigitalDNA Awesome. Did you shoot it one handed? That's the real test.

when I buy a semi-auto such as a Glock or a Springfield XD, do I have to strip all the factory lube off and re-lube it before I shoot it, or can I just shoot it right out of the box? Which is the best approach to caring for a new gun?

[brian47374]

@pete5668 I am not aware of "factory lube" for polymer guns. Glocks come with some copper looking lube and I would leave that alone unless you are cleaning your gun after shooting it. Honestly, this would be gun specific. I've owned Glocks, XD's, and Sigs never had this issue. I've just pulled them out of the box and shot them. Maybe things have changed over the past several years...

what if a wanted a missle launcher?

Thanks for your statement about the irrelevance of caliber. I have 4 pistols in 9mm and I am sick of hearing that 9mm is weak and ineffective. Trust me, 9mm is very effective. Ask bin Laden.

@wldhrt4evr madame it should be the caliber which you can handle its recoil that dictates what handgun you are going to get. Shot placement is easy to say that you can do in real fight that is not true. But if you have a bigger caliber which you can handle its recoil and you can do a good shot placement in real fight then it is best.

@wldhrt4evr

Madame get the biggest caliber which you can handle. It is not because it is small and easy to handle the recoil and you are going to get it. Get a bigger caliber which you can still control the recoil even at rapid fire. If you can handle a .45 caliber why not get it.

I think the most important thing for this guy to consider is hearing protection

I’m ambidextrous I write left handed but my reflex is to pull gun out with my right hand and palm with my left when aiming. 3:28 was the best advice thanks for uploading!

@brian47374 I have a S&W sigma .40 I bought for $270. Great gun. With that being said my other gun is a .50 Desert Eagle AE! I love that gun because I can handle it with my size while my other friends always shoot it with fear haha

[AdrianCto96]

Sorry .380 not .308! .308 is a rifle caliber.

[AdrianCto96]

.22 is for practice in my opinion you will probably not knock down someone with a .22 shooting him twice but you will with a 9mm or a .38 special or .308.
