How Easy Is It to Get Assistance with Buying a Home Defense Pistol
I live in Southeast PA and I'm looking to buy a home defense pistol.
I took a private session on safety and firing a few years back but haven't handled a firearm since. I'm a bit intimidated to go to a store and pick something out and I'm wondering if ranges are helpful with assisting a buyer pick out a firearm.
I was considering a shotgun as well but I don't have the space for an effective safe for the gun at this time.
Thanks for your thoughts.

Re: How Easy Is It to Get Assistance with Buying a Home Defense Pistol
Go to a good, reputable gun shop and the guy behind the counter should be helpful and know his stuff...I like the Handgunner shop in Topton. They know what they're talking about. Or handle a bunch and come on here, asking opinions - you'll get a lot of feedback.

Re: How Easy Is It to Get Assistance with Buying a Home Defense Pistol
Another member who lives close to to has offered to help you, i suggest you take him up on that offer, also, think about over penetration when shooting inside a home, get a shotgun designed for home defense and use a trigger lock that uses a key to operate it, this for now will do until you get more guns and a safe to keep them in.
Government 99 and 44/100 % pure bullshit.

Re: How Easy Is It to Get Assistance with Buying a Home Defense Pistol
Do some research online and especially on this website... 5 or 6 questions should get you close to the pistol thats right for you, after that its a matter of price, brand, and preference...
1. Do you want a revolver or Semi-Auto pistol
2. Do you want a Single Action or a Double Action
3. What Caliber? .357, .38 special, .380, 9mm, .40 cal, .45 cal just to name a few.
4. Do you want it to have an extrenal safety?
5. What is your price range?
