My apologies if this post is all over the place. I had so much fun and am so excited to shoot, BUT my revolver is no fun. By 50 rounds, my arms and shoulders were sore and my thumbs hurt, lol. When I became interested in shooting, I was looking at semi-autos. But the seller was uncomfortable with me purchasing one due to my lack of knowledge and experience, and he could tell I was nervous. He talked me into the S&W 38 Special Airweight with laser, saying he sold many of these to women and his wife carries one as well. It's a great gun, I will like it for defense, and I'm told by several gun enthusiasts I know that I picked well on this one.
My target shooting was fantastic and I was surprised how well I did. Didn't use laser. A worker at the club was gracious to stay with me and help. He let me try free of charge a semi-auto so I could see the difference of the two, him saying he never would have sold me a revolver for shooting fun. I liked the semi-auto, but need more practice, as I don't seem as efficient with it.
After I take a course and pass my CCW and become confidant with this one, I will look for a fun gun for the indoor range. I really enjoyed shooting. He suggested the M&P Shield, which is what I wanted to buy in the first place. I also liked the Glock 42 he showed me, as well as the S&W 22. He recommended the 22 for fun because it's a cheap gun and inexpensive ammo.
What are your choices for indoor shooting? Out of the ones I've mentioned, are there any preferences? I do tend to navigate to the smaller ones, i.e, the Shield, but am open to others.
Thanks for any suggestions, and if you've managed to read this book! Just excited and want to learn.
