4 Tips for First Time Gun Buyers

By

Buying a firearm for the first time can be intimidating. There are a whole lot of options and a whole lot of opinions floating around. The good news is that with some research and taking time to understand what your needs are, picking up your first gun can prove straightforward and painless. So whether you are looking for a simple, reliable 9mm revolver, a deer hunting rifle chambered in 243 Winchester, or a double-barrel fowling shotgun, good luck and good shooting.

9mm Revolver

 Know What You Want It For

It may seem odd to clarify this but it’s essential that you know as specifically as possible what you want to use the gun for. Do you want a gun to hunt with, one to shoot targets with, or for safety? Once you have a clear idea why you want a gun, figuring out which gun you want should be easier.

Do Your Research

Once you have determined specifically what your firearm will be for, the research begins. If you are in the market for a handgun, read up on the respective benefits of revolvers and semi-automatics. If you are hunting for a deer rifle, find out both which models are well-reviewed and which cartridges are most highly recommended for deer. Determine whether your state is one in which only “straight-walled” cartridges are legal for deer hunting, and so on.

Consider Ammunition Price and Availability

Ammunition is a practical consideration that it’s always wise to keep front of mind. Two of the primary factors to consider are price and availability. For instance, let’s say you are looking for a high-quality AR 15 for sale. The most common chambering for the AR 15 rifle family is 223 Remington and its military sibling, 556 NATO. While there are many alternative chamberings for an AR 15, 223 Remington and 556 NATO cartridges will be the least expensive and most reliably available. Though that does not mean you should not consider another chambering if it is what you are looking for. Other more inexpensive and commonly available cartridges include 22 LR, 9mm, and 12 gauge shotgun shells.

Look for It Online

When you have done the necessary research and determined what type and model of firearm you are looking for, check for options online. Find a safe, reputable, and reliable online firearms marketplace.

They will all help with convenience, allowing you to carry more or keep your firearms close at hand.

It’s the rare fan of firearms who doesn’t appreciate having at least one conversation piece in their collection. That can be a family heirloom, a homemade build, or a favorite shooter. However, a home-run option for a gun people will talk about is gifting your favorite gun enthusiast a high-quality but distinctive firearm. That could be an antique or vintage model, like a Dreyse M1907, or something new and unique, like the Kel Tec KSG . Give them something to talk about with one of the following distinctive gun gifts. 50 Beowulf Dreyse M1907 The Dreyse is a unique and certainly distinctive looking early automatic. Superficially, it looks quite a bit like the first ever mass-produced automatic, the FN 1900, and shares its chambering—32 ACP. However, the Dreyse features several distinct internal differences. Because this antique firearm tends to be overshadowed by the famous FN 1900, you can often find them relatively inexpensively. Despite their usually modest price, they have a reput

Whether you are going hunting with your Beretta A300 Outlander or taking a highly specialized AR 15 to an out-of-state competition, flying with a firearm might seem complex if you have never done it before. However, there are ways you can streamline the process to make it as simple as possible. This means you will not have to arrive at the airport too much earlier than you would for a typical flight. Here are five tips you should know about packing and declaring your firearm for your next flight. Use the Right Kind of Lock First, you will need the right kind of lock. Do not use any standard, TSA-approved lock to keep your firearms safe. Instead, use a heavy-duty lock on your case. Always keep a key on your person, but do not bring extra copies in your checked luggage. Otherwise, if you use a TSA-approved lock or have copies of the key, it is entirely possible that your gun case could be empty when you grab it off the carousel at your destination.
