I am going to be going to a shop to look for a handgun (my first) and am wondering when going through the handguns, what am i looking for when I am holding it.
I plan on taking a handgun training class when i get some free time from work and never really handled them except once, when i was younger.
Basically, i am wondering if i am able to feel the trigger feel and length of pull when holding it. I am almost positive i would have to remove magazine (if its installed) and clear the chamber to be positive it is not loaded.
I am sorry for the newbish questions, and I am sure its been asked many times already, but my Google-fu was not finding anything.
Thanks!
EDIT: found this after posting.
Anything else i should know that isn't included in the article?
