Handgun Selection Guide for India #45bore #32bore #msdchampion #berettaindia

The Selection Process Again, going back to the analogy of purchasing a car, purchasing a handgun should be a process. Going into the store one day and just relying on what the person behind the counter tells you would be similar to going into a dealership and letting the salesperson choose the car for you. For anyone who’s experienced that process of purchasing a car, it’s often challenging without giving up complete control of the outcome. With that in mind, giving some internal thought about the purpose of a handgun in your life is a critical first step. Will you have it just in the home and not be carrying it? If it’s at home, how do you plan on accessing it quickly? Are you going to have it in a car? Do you have young children who you’re concerned about getting a hold of it? These are all great questions to consider yourself and maybe WTV will help you answer. Next, much like purchasing a vehicle, it has to fit you individually. How do the seats feel in a car? Do you like the look of it aesthetically? How does your body fit in the driver’s seat? Is there enough space inside for your needs? When you drive it, do you like the feel? All of these questions can directly translate to a handgun purchase process. How does the grip fit in your hand? Do you like the way it looks? If you’re going to carry it, does it fit your body or bag? Is the magazine capacity what you’d like? When you shoot it, does the target mirror the results you want in terms of accuracy, speed, etc.? All of these are fundamental considerations that a bit of prior thought will help answer. After years of experience, the biggest mistake people make and where a channel like WTV is a great resource is they purchase a handgun based only on the recommendations of people in their lives who might know what they’re doing and based on the feel of the handgun in their hands. Once again like the vehicle process, taking it for a test drive is a fundamental necessity. You will have a far better experience in the long run if you take advantage of a handgun rental to try before you buy! Sometimes what feels great in the hands doesn’t mirror accuracy or speed. This is also where a qualified associate can help you make an informed, objective, decision. It is important to identify and specify the features you want in your handgun before randomly searching for just any gun. So, be careful when selecting your gun. Do your research and find the manufacturer's specifications and features, and know what you want in your personal gun. Often, we just see a gun we like and buy it. Sometimes because Uncle Raju or Aunty Pinky said that is the best gun since sliced bread, we buy it. Our range buddy or the gun shop salesperson said that is the gun the pros use or that police officers use, so you cannot go wrong. Other times we just focus on one or two must-have factors that we prefer, then we seek out guns that match just those two things. What is your approach to selecting your personal handgun? I want to share my approach and checklist to help you. Rarely do we take a big-picture, total-perspective objective approach, specify our use for the gun, decide our criteria up front, prioritize them and then evaluate the three or four gun alternatives that we are considering against a standard set of criteria. Frequently, we do not even shoot the guns we are considering, but just assume they will perform right for us. If we do shoot our gun options, we do not test shoot all of them using a standard drill for all guns we are considering. In essence, we just emotionally, subjectively and irrationally select the "apple" or do not compare the types of apples, or compare an apple with an orange. What I am saying is we should take more time up front and have a more objective, systematic, structured way of selecting our personal handgun, rather than a seat-of-the-pants approach. We should have our goal/use defined, criteria specified, factors identified and ranked, and a way of objectively evaluating each alternative against the same standards.
