Tips for Buying Your First Gun

  • Ally Abrams is on the hunt for a new gun. More than that, actually. She’s on the hunt for her first gun. So, like many first-time gun buyers, she went to her local range, The Machine Gun Nest, because they have a lot of choices in a place where people can see and test them out.
    In particular, Ally is interested in a handgun. She’s shot handguns before, but she’s not very experienced. As far as brand loyalty goes for guns, Ally is a blank slate. Which makes the local gun shop/range a perfect choice for her.

    I was a little disappointed in the video targeting first time gun buyers that he did not express basic safety issues to her. More importantly, it bothered me that appears he did not, upon picking semi autos out of the case, open and lock back the slide to demonstrate to her the chamber was empty. To me, that's the first thing I expect of a firearm salesperson even to me as an experienced gun owner. And I do the same thing when I pick it up to verify for myself it is empty. Additionally, especially in this video, it would be helpful to simply address the four basic safety rules before going to the range. To me, expressing safe handling has to be rule number one when introducing firearms to prospective first time buyers.
    I realize this video was trying to condense down some basic information to a person who has previously fired firearms. However, since the title of the video addresses "first time gun buyers", I believe safety would have been helpful to include.

    Lots of .40 S&W hate these days, it's always sad when calibers die out. The 9x19 round is over a hundred year old cartridge design and is good enough for probably 90% of all self defense scenarios.

    Wow instead of telling the young lady what you think how about you give her some calibers to try and say try these models with these calibers find someone who is willing to work with you, spend time getting practice, maybe where each one in a holster, then after you decide what’s best for you come back and we will see if we have what you want. Do this rather than giving an opinion about a caliber, not everyone is you.

    • @mikehagan4320
      @mikehagan4320 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I've heard some people say in those types of low capacity areas. That it makes going to a .45 caliber more logical if you can't have the round count of a 9mm.

    more ammunition in a 15 shot magazine or 9 it’s no difference to a sloppy shooter. marksmanship training is the key to survive a gunfight. the first shot being put where it’s intended while under pressure and follow up shots if required.the pray and spraying method means a lot of bullets flying every where. the difference is every shot for marksman is intentional , precise, committed, mind set , there may be only chance for that one shot. ability, proper training, knowledge of what is about how to look ahead of the criminals finding the end result before it happens. nana and papa wishing you well

    Heres my tips for buying a gun. Go to a gun show or armslist and buy private party. No background no 4473 no nosey govt paper trail. You have a god given right to protect yourself family and property regardless of restrictive left wing crazy govt/state/ city laws. Better to meet the jury than to meet the funeral director. Oh and about safety? 1. Never point at anything you dont intend to shoot. 2. Keep finger off trigger until ready to shoot. 3. Never buy a gun without a manual safety 4. Never carry with a loaded chamber. Accident waiting to happen. About training. Real simple… point at target, pull trigger... UPDATE just watching the news. Mobs of savage animals with pepper spray, crowbars are running rampant, mostly in democrat led cities looting stores, over 80 savages just looted a upscale store in chicago and took a million dollars worth of shit. They're beating people, stabbing, gunning down innocent bystanders. The police come in minutes. Bullets come in feet per second. You have one life. Take no chances with these people. Don't be caught unarmed for any reason We all know whom I'm talking about. These are crazy people in crazy times
