I just received a phone call from a man who was looking for some advice on guns, training and all things self defense. He had been looking on the internet and was confused by the myriad of opinions. He wasn’t sure what was credible and what wasn’t.
We talked a bit and then I told him I would send him some info training and some other links to what I considered credible sources.
Pretty much from the get go of me writing this blog I said that this article was by far the best I had seen on the subject of selecting a handgun. I have wanted to link it directly on my blog forever, but could never figure out how and then I forgot about it. Maybe Barron can do that for me eventually.
I also sent him links to Active Response Training and Eastern Iowa Firearms Training blog.
Once again if you are new to guns and self defense then I would suggest checking out these links for yourself. Very good, solid, easy to understand, useful information.
Thanks, good links!
Thanks for the nod,
On the topic of reputable training sources, this is also a pretty good reference.

Regarding the “Selecting a Handgun for Defense Pt.1”, Part 2 on revolvers is up there as well.
Perfect. Thanks.
Here’s a more simplified link for the training sources.

Thanks for the link AGirl. It’s nice to see all the new shooters – especially when they are actively interested in learning gun handling skills rather than just “getting my permit”.
Indeed.
I’ll add those links to your side bar tonight. (If I remember when I have the laptop on.)
Thank you!
