"What Gun Should I Buy?"

--- Quote from: jthhapkido on January 05, 2015, 12:53:05 PM ---I tend to think that by the time someone is ready to try actually shooting the possibilities, they should have narrowed the field down to two or three. Having clarified the reason for the gun buy narrows the field a lot. Looking at reputable offerings in an appropriate caliber (in the budget range of the buyers) narrows it further. Once at a gun counter, checking the frame for grip, trigger for ability, sights for view tends to reduce it further--and generally by that time, there are only a couple of choices left.

Maybe, but "trial and error" does happen, and sometimes you just don't know that something isn't totally right until you've lived with it for a while. It certainly happens with fowling pieces. I was 100% totally absolutely positively sure that a rather expensive over/under fit me just right -- but could never connect with it well in the real world during pheasant season. Happens with defensive sidearms too, I think.
So sometimes, the answer to "What gun should I buy?" is, "This one that I have for sale right now." :)

Solution...BAM! That JUST happened.
