OK. Another CC question

I have a friend who has 8000 rounds just on one pistol. He’s a great shooter.

I shoot several different guns and can handle many different calibers, though. Then again, I Shoot a lot. I bring anywhere from 3-7 pistols/revolvers at a time.

If you’re willing to work at it. Whether you have one, 5 or 20 (Whatever) pistols, you can excel.

Now the Taurus lineup of revolvers has a lineup I was not aware of. 380 ACP, 9 mm, as well as 38/367 for revolvers. Those are viable options.

No problem shooting in single action for precision or long distances. But for combat Double action is the only way to go.

Taurus triggers aren’t horrible but a gunsmith can do some internal polishing to smooth it out. Some people have internal springs replaced which I don’t advise as it may not give an adequate ignition for Hard primers.

How many guns do you have, Millie? Which models?

I have a phoenix .25 I've had for decades, the Taurus .38 spl revolver, and a kel tek .380 p3at like the one I used for part of my CC shooting test. I'd like at least one more gun...a bigger and heavier semi auto. Doing research now into what one I'll get...it's going to be awhile!
 
You should be proud of yourself because you, as you said, sucked up and persevered. A lot of men and women would have quit or even dropped the firearm. Now, you can buy a few boxes of .38 and find a range to practice. You might also see if there is a (defensive) handgun course so you have an instructor help with any bad habits. And then shoot the bitch until you can hit any target you pick at 15 yards any day of the week and twice on Sundays. FYI, there are .38 snap caps, but with a revolver used .38 cartridges will work... just make sure there is not live ammo in the same room.

Remember the say: beware of someone who owns only one firearm for chances are he knows it very well.

Revolver grips can be changed once you find the Taurus model you have; there might be a perfect one for you out there.

380 is a viable cartridge for self-defense. It did start a world war after all. I just wish its ammo was not so expensive. On the other hand, there are interesting very concealable pistols for under $250 in that caliber out there.
Thanks, I'm happy I was able to do the qualifying without making g a total idiot of myself! I'd have preferred to do much better, but was determined to use my revolver....possibly not my best decision! Lol. I actually have some snap caps. Not exactly sure what to expect from them....my bruise from the revolver is gone but the joint's still a bit sore. If they're going to snap at me like the gun did, I might wait! I'm planning to get a membership in a range nearby, but need to save up the $$. Also saving for the CC permit application fee....lotsa stuff going on here!
 
I think with the snap caps you will be able to slow down and study when/how/why you got hurt and then figure out if there is a way to avoid that. Remember the snap caps are just there to protect the firing pin; your revolver will go nowhere when you press trigger, so you can focus on your detective work without worrying about loud noise and recoil.

About ranges, I do not know where you, the state owns a few ranges which are free to use (well your taxes pay for them ;)): http://www.ncwildlife.org/Outdoor-Activities/Shooting-Ranges
Maybe there is one nearby you. Also, there are a ton of revolver owners here in this site; maybe someone is near you and can help make you and your revolver like each other.

Thanks. My local range is waiting for me to save the fee for my card. As for members here, many, many have offered help, but they're usually far from my area. I've checked into the state ranges...far away! I do intend to get to a range....

Short barrel revolvers hurt my wrist. Go try a nice big heavy 9mm double stack semiautomatic and set your fears free
I do plan on getting a semiauto for my next gun...and I do want a big heavy-ish one! Still mulling over the choices!
 
I picked this up awhile ago and finally got to shoot it today. What a joy it is to shoot a metal gun! :)

That S&W is a nice gun. A Ruger p 95 would be a good starter 9mm. Bombproof, cheap.
