I purchased a .45auto not too long ago and I can shoot well with it. I also know the basic firearm safety rules and operation of my pistol.
These questions have been bugging me lately and hopefully I can get some answers.
1. What does the term "blueing" mean? I think it refers to the color of the gun, but most guns are chrome, stainless steel/silver, and black. Is 'black' considered blue?
2. Why do some handguns cost $500+? What's special about high-priced guns?
3. What's all this talk about different weight bullets and velocity speeds? I know ammo comes in different weights and speeds but does it really matter in self-defense? If you shoot an average burglar or person trying to do harm against you, wouldn't it get the job done?
4. I know the difference between a clip and magazine, however, if the clip just holds loose ammo so it will be nice and neat, wouldn't this make reloading an autoloader harder? (I'm envisioning taking the ammo out of the clip and loading it into a magazine.)
5. What's wrong with DAO pistols (if there's anything wrong)?
Thanks!
