Tips for Choosing a Concealed Handgun
When you decide that you will carry a concealed handgun for self defense, selecting the right carry gun is one of the most important things that you will do. Because each handgun is as different as each person, another permit holder’s preferences might not work for you. These tips will help you figure out which gun is right for your holster, purse or pack.
- Any gun that you carry should fit comfortably in your hands. If you cannot securely grasp that giant semi-auto with the double-stack magazine, then you need to consider a different carry gun. A firm grip is vital to accurate shooting, so be sure that your firearm of choice fits you well.
- Concealed carry works best when your chosen firearm is easy to keep out of sight. Your body type, chosen carry method, and the gun that you choose are all factors in the ability to easily conceal. Your wardrobe also affects concealment if you carry on body. Consider and test all of these factors when you’re figuring out which firearm to carry.
- You should be able to safely and easily operate any firearm that you carry. Be sure that you can safely load and unload the gun, rack the slide (if you buy a semi-automatic), manipulate the safeties and clear misfeeds and other malfunctions. Some guns are more user-friendly than others, so take this into consideration when you go shopping.
- Carry guns should be mechanically sound and reliable. Look for gun reviews by reputable writers. These people should honestly tell their readers exactly what is good and bad about each gun they review. Knowing these things will help you make a better buying decision. Remember, though, that some things are matters of personal opinion. A review writer might hate a certain manufacturer’s trigger, while you love it.
- Your firearm must be legal to carry in your part of the world. There is no point in investing your money in a .22 handgun with a holster and other accessories, only to learn that you may not legally carry that caliber. Do your research before you buy, as this will save you a lot of time, money and frustration.
There are many discussions about which caliber you should carry. One person will highly recommend .45 ACP, while another will insist on 9mm. You should spend some time at the range with different calibers to see which ones are best for you. Find a caliber that is affordable, comfortable to shoot and effective for the job that you want it to do.
Ideally, you should test a particular model before you buy it. If you are, for example, thinking of carrying a Taurus 1911, then you should test-fire a Taurus 1911. Shooting ranges often rent guns, so give your local ranges a call to see if they can accommodate you. This is well worth the rental fees because you could very well avoid buying a gun that does not work for you at all.
Putting a box or two of rounds through a potential carry gun before you buy it will help you figure out that model’s pros and cons. You will have a chance to discover how that model’s recoil affects you personally; how easy it is to manipulate the safety features, and how comfortable that gun is in your hands. Trying a gun for yourself before you buy is the best way to confirm that this firearm is a good fit for you.
Because carrying a concealed handgun is serious business, you should invest your time in research and testing before you make a purchase. This will ensure that you make the right decision about which gun you will carry. This is important enough to be worth your time because that firearm could possibly save your life.
