Howdy! Names Brent and im from Castle Rock, CO. My wife and I have been married about 18months or so and just had our first child (little girl). These milestones in my life have made me realize the importance of protecting myself and my family.
My 23rd birthday is in April and I have requested a shotgun as the gift. It will be my first gun. I have decided on an 870 Express Super Magnum 12ga in synthetic with a 26" barrel. I think that this will be a good all around firearm for hunting, skeet, and HD. Any opinions??
Secondly I am starting a new job driving a tow truck and will be doing the occasional Repo. This has givin me the desire to get my CCW and a handgun to carry with me. This is where I am lost.
What brand? (I've shot Glocks and XDs and like both) What caliber?? (I've shot .38, 9mm, .40, .45) I like the availability, lower ammo cost and high mag capacity of the 9mm, and the power of the .45, and the .40 seems like a good comprimise (duh). But how do I decide?? And then where is the best place to holster my CW?? I typically wear jeans and T-shirts.
I have been lurking for a few weeks and am really impressed with the attitudes of those on this board. Thanks for all input!!
