Been thinking about resources for others who want info on handguns or shooting in general and came across this from another thread:
Without trying to turn this thread into a FAQ I recommend the following for right now.
Obtain a Gun Digest Book of Combat Handgunnery, 5th addition from www.krause.com and read the Purchasing a Used Gun chapter. Mas Ayoob is the author.
Since you seem to be new to a lot of this having a reference library, even a small one,with which you can look up material is a good idea. A little research seem in order at this stage.
Ineternet sites are ok for some things. For hard core info you can trust reading a few books by suitable authors who are knowledgeable about firearms can't be beat.
Farnam, Mas Ayoob, Peter Kokalis, John Lovette, Evan Marshall, Ed Sanow, Dave Spaulding, and Clint Smith are all good picks to read in book or magazine form. There are others as well.
Paladin Press and Gun Digest books are all good sources of info and can be found at the local public library. Might be old hat, but a lot of info can be found there.
www.corneredcat.com and www.mouseguns.com are also useful resurces or have links that available. While cornered cat .com is info for women there is a lot of useful things there for the guys as well.
For Police Bookshelf there is www.ayoob.com. www.paladin-press.com and www.krause.com are for the other sites.
Since gun ownership demands knowledge and great responsibility,the more knowledge the better. Reading from difinitive sources or well accreditted authors goes a long way in that regard.
Update time. Gun Digest Books just put out an updated Combat Handgunnery book.
Chuck Taylor is another writer/author who is also an excellent read.
