Sharpshooter
I know there are many factors that go into the decision making process of purchasing a firearm. I am new to the whole thing but have been thinking about this for several months.
I am a big guy, 6'3 235lbs with some decent size mitts, so I could probably handle a larger handgun with no problem. My main purpose for the gun is home protection and having fun shooting at a range.
Eventually I would like to carry one concealed but I would like some additional training before I make that step.
I have a friend at work who knows a helluva lot about guns and hunting and we have talked at length about the different guns he owns. He showed me his .38 special that he keeps in his pick-up and let me hold it.
He told me his favorite gun by far is his 1911 for a mulititude of reasons. He said that I would probably like it as well. We at one time were going to get together to shoot but our schedules got split up.
I've been doing some research on the 1911 and it seems to be a popular gun. What are your opinions on this gun?
