It’s a fun gun to plink but thr controls aren’t the same as regular handguns so you won’t get familiarity with where safeties are and etc

i ordered sig p320 and sw mp2.0 too! but theyre both 9mm and i want something i can just get a handle of shooting with and where ammo isnt too expensive/jard to find.

Both of those will shoot fine :) I wouldn’t worry too much about it just go slow. By my 2-3 time shooting hand guns I got used to it! I’m sure it’ll be similar for you too. 9mm and 22LR are both very abundant.

Np enjoy!

If you’re open to it highly recommend getting a DA/SA pistol as well as the 2 you’ve bought are both striker fire.

any recommendations?

P226, Shadow 1, Shadow 2, some of these will be hard to find.

Tanfoglio Stock 2 or Stock 2 extreme is a great amazing gun that would be great for competitions in the future too but it is a lot pricier

great suggestions! i was looking at cz 75 and shadow 2 but like youve said, pretty hard to find.

honestly, dont even know the diff between da/sa and striker fire. these are all panic buys from recent announcement haha. 🤦🏻‍♀️

SADA has a hammer and are often metal frame they shoot smoother imo but slightly pricier and more moving parts.

Strikers are polymer and designed to be light for carry but as a result they recoil worse and often triggers don’t feel as nice

Side note I tried a P07 the other day dry fire and I would have to say I was amazed

u/[deleted] Aug 09 '22

u/knine71551 Aug 09 '22
