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?
Yea, but that’s different than automatic. The other user has pointed out that it is a term, but as I stated no one I’ve ever talked firearms with or even been around calls them automatic pistols. We just call them pistols or revolvers or even wheel guns…this is at ranges and matches all over the USA. It’s not a common term. When someone says automatic, they’re talking about a giggle switch for their pistol or rifle. It’s just not common.
Not that the term is wrong or anything, it’s just not common.
