The S&W 357 served LE well for many tears and is a great pistol. I've also found the Mossberg 500 to be a very reliable shotgun. I also have a preference for lever action rifles. I do have a semi-automatic 9mm and a Ruger 10/22 though.<br /><br />I guess I feel more comfortable with mechanical action type firearms...especially those with a reliability that has been proven over and over again.<br /><br />They say great minds think alike!<br />Glad to know someone else out there is a fan of the Model 65!

However, this coincidence is worth a comment, namely your choice of both the S&W model 65 and Mossberg 500 (looking through your site, obviously), for defense. They've been my choice as well since probably the late 1980s, iirc.<br /><br />Even do a bit of practical pistol with my model 65. Though dominated by autos, since I prefer my wheel gun for its reliability and simplicity I use practical time stay familiar with it. Respectable scores even!<br /><br />Nice blog, all the best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-50885996669733597112009-06-22T00:38:00.570-05:002009-06-22T00:38:00.570-05:00To: anonymous 2:45

Local and state laws, gender,home defense only, licensed personal carry (CCW), etc. You can e-mail me with a few more specific circumstances and I would be glad to help you out. An excellent source for beginning firearms information is at Getting Started in Emergency Preparedness (click the link in the sidebar under places to visit). Another very knowledgeable site for gun information is kaiservontexasmusings (in side bar also under places to visit). Many sporting goods stores- Cabela's etc. offer training classes, etc.<BR/><BR/>My personal choice for home defense is the Mossberg 500 12 guage pump! Hope this helps.<BR/><BR/>Riverwalkerriverwalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575212890278793911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-86642546191556031312008-08-03T00:34:00.000-05:002008-08-03T00:34:00.000-05:00To: faolMy brother has a Blackhawk- nice gun also....To: faol<BR/><BR/>My brother has a Blackhawk- nice gun also.

A couple of questions from someone who is starting from the very, very beginning (read no knowledge, no gear):<BR/>--What firearm do you suggest for a beginner who wants it only for defense (no hunting or sport)?<BR/>--How do you find a good instructor (don't want to even start if I can't learn safety first)?<BR/>I searched your site for "beginning firearms" but didn't find anything.
