I’ve been shooting every now and then for the last 20-ish years and I’m a decent shot. I’ve shot a handful of different pistols, rifles, and shotguns. Leaning towards getting a pistol, not totally sure what I’d get. It would be for home/self defense but I like to go to the range sometimes. I’m considering:
- Some sort of 1911
- Ruger LC380 (is it even possible to get a CCW in CA?)
Any thoughts/recommendations?
Getting a CCW in CA varies wildly by location. If you happen to live in a rural county, it may be relatively easy. In a more populous area it could be difficult to impossible. You should inquire with your local Sheriff’s office.
As for the pistol itself, both your choices are available in CA. Since it sounds like you have experience with them both, I won’t suggest other pistols. Comes down to what you like. Never hurts to visit a range that lets you try a variety.
