1911 as first gun?

whups wrong thread

 

well if ur friend doesnt know enough about guns then he probably should take some safety courses and then take a shooting course if he's gonna be carrying it and trying to conceal it i havea concealed permit and i cary a tarus 1911pt all the time and its a great gun and i dont care who u are a 45 hollow point will take u down

 

true but 1911 also has 8in the mag 1in the chamber it will do the trick unless u wanna carry a tarrus judge lol or a 410

 

Not for first gun. Go with something easy like a glock where its ready to fire

 

honestly for a first gun something with a safety and decocking is normally best if the person doesnt know much about handguns

 

That's your first post I agree with.....

 

decocker=SA/DA...safest deal going, especially for carry.
Thanks

 

X3. I like the fact that the 1911 has a safety switch as opposed to other double action guns (glock, etc.) that don't have a safety on them. If you are going to carry, you should carry with a round in the chamber - so would you rather have a mechanical safety or not once a round is loaded? I chose to go with the safety (at first) while I was new to CCW. My 1911 also has a backstrap that won't allow the hammer to fall unless it is depressed; which means you basically have to have your hand around the pistol to fire it; no accidental discharges in the holster.

The CCW lifestyle is no joke; anyone interested should do serious research into what weapon they want to carry, the safety functions built into their weapons, holsters, mindset, etc. I have all of my holsters custom made so that I can specifically design added safety features to prevent accidental discharge. It is a responsibility that should never be taken lightly.
