Holiday Gift Guide: 5 Guns That are Ideal for First-Timers

By

The approach of the holidays makes this the perfect time to find the ideal gun for a first-timer. A few characteristics make a firearm an excellent option for inexperienced or first-time shooters or gun owners. It certainly helps if the weapon doesn’t produce much felt recoil. Ease of use should obviously be taken into consideration. It’s also wise to consider details like how easy a gun is to load and maintain. Finally, it’s worth considering what the firearm will be for. For instance, a 243 rifle is an excellent choice as a first hunting rifle. However, it’s probably not the best choice for home defense.

204 Ruger

243 Rifle

The 243 Winchester cartridge is among the most versatile short-action cartridges ever. Heavier 243 Winchester bullets are capable of taking game as large as mule deer, depending on the skill and experience of the hunter. Lighter loads are a favorite choice for varmints. Additionally, a quality 243 rifle will provide dead-on accuracy up to 300 yards and beyond that with good optics and experience. Their versatility, accuracy, and low recoil make them a prime choice for a first-time would-be hunter.

 SIG Sauer P320

At first blush, the pistol recently chosen as the sidearm of the world’s largest, most advanced military may not seem like the best choice for a beginner. The truth is, that’s precisely what makes the SIG Sauer P320 optimal for beginners. For one, to be chosen by the military, the SIG P320 must be a reliable, high-quality, and accurate handgun. Plus, the modularity of the SIG P320 allows first-timers to change the grip and otherwise modify the pistol to their preferences.

 204 Ruger

The 204 Ruger is a prime choice for introducing a gun beginner to both hunting and long-range shooting. The 204 Ruger is often referred to as the “king of velocity” because, unsurprisingly, it features one of the most impressive velocities available in any commercially produced cartridge. Despite how exceptionally fast, far, and flat the 204 Ruger shoots, it has very mild recoil. That makes it an excellent option for getting the feel of high-velocity, long-range shooting.

 Bersa 380

The Bersa 380 manages several impressive feats that make it perfect for beginners. It’s reliable, rugged, and both easy to use and maintain. While lightweight, the engineering of the Bersa 380 still impressively tames felt recoil. That is quite the accomplishment for small, light handguns. If you’re looking for a very moderately priced, high-quality entry-level handgun, give the Bersa 380 a shot.

 Walther PPKS 22

The Bersa 380 was initially lauded for its design similarities with the legendary Walther PPK at a modest price. That’s a compliment partly because the Walther PPK, James Bond’s gun of choice, is a rock-solid masterpiece of quality and reliability. That alone makes it worthwhile for beginners. Plus, the Walther PPKS is chambered in 22 LR, the perfect first-timer’s cartridge. Finally, the Walther PPKS comes threaded for a suppressor as a stock feature. What could be more fun for a beginner than James Bond’s gun with a silencer?

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

How to Fly with Your Firearms

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. What to Do with Ammo Most often, a
