I’ve been shooting every now and then for the last 20-ish years and I’m a decent shot. I’ve shot a handful of different pistols, rifles, and shotguns. Leaning towards getting a pistol, not totally sure what I’d get. It would be for home/self defense but I like to go to the range sometimes. I’m considering:

  • Some sort of 1911
  • Ruger LC380 (is it even possible to get a CCW in CA?)

Any thoughts/recommendations?

      I know multiple people here who own AR-15s, and have shot multiple

      They (stupidly) restrict a lot of attachments but the gun is legal here

      Or, since it’s home defense: the Remington 680 870 (the 680 is a cod gun and idk why autocorrect did that lol) is great

        The only people I know who have them here are vets. Either way I’m looking for something a little tamer, my gf would have a fit if I came home with an AR. I’ll have to check out the 680.

        I’m not seeing the 680 anywhere, you sure that’s the right number? Maybe it was discontinued?

            LOL ok I see it now. Yeah I would shoot that. Not sure if I want a shotgun for my first gun but I’ll keep that in mind.
