    New gun owner looking for advice

    Let me add a piece of info that may shed light on my choice of gun. I had a very bad experience with a gun as a teenager - I am from Romania, when I went to college it was mandatory enrolment in the army for one year, which included mostly monthly classes and taking apart a rifle and putting it...

    New gun owner looking for advice

    I don't have kids, just me, my husband and a cat. We live on an acre surrounded by mature trees. One visible neighbor by a fence to the side. The lots are 3-5 acres around us. We are off the main road on a small access road. I do feel uneasy when I am at home alone, hence why I chose to get a...

    New gun owner looking for advice

    I intend to use it for home defense. The immediate goal is to become comfortable and safe with it. Not planning to conceal carry for now. I have taken several safety classes in last few years and plan to get a few hours of private instruction also.

    New gun owner looking for advice

    For now, my goal is to become comfortable with the gun at the range. I don't plan to conceal carry for now, I am too nervous about it, despite of taking several safety classes (I am overcoming an unfortunate gun experience I had as a teenager). I am going baby steps and will take private...

    New gun owner looking for advice

    I am a beginner gun owner - I finally purchased my first gun in December, a 1911 Springfield Ronin 9mm. I am now trying to figure out what accessories it need and where to get them... I have good ear protection and basic eye protection. From my readings looks like I need some kind of range bag...

    Springfield Ronin 1911 - where to buy

    Thank you everybody for your advice and support...and sense of humor! This has been a great thread and has certainly made me more comfortable about stepping into the gun world. I admit, gun ranges and gun stores have been very intimidating because every time I stepped in one, I was the only...

    Springfield Ronin 1911 - where to buy

    Thank you! That is what I did and how I picked this gun. I tried out about 35 or so guns (most 9mm) between two of my friends and renting guns at several ranges. I had best experience with 1911s, so then I focused on trying a few of those (I could find a Colt, a Kimber and this Springfield). I...

    Springfield Ronin 1911 - where to buy

    Excellent points, thank you very much. I am getting a 9mm though, I could not handle well any of the .45 I tried (neither physically or emotionally, my first time shooting a gun in my early 20s in another country was horrific and I had to work on overcoming that old fear). The fact that I am...

    Springfield Ronin 1911 - where to buy

    Thank you so much for all the information. I have tried a lot of guns under supervision of formal instructors and friends. I so like how this gun fits my hands and how it handles. I was told it is a decent choice. It was not a price choice, rather how it felt. I do plan to continue to take...
