    Same, but 20 years ago. I got it because Knoxx made the compstock for it and that makes the gun a LOT easier for anyone (like my wife) to shoot. But a pump shotgun has some serious disadvantages compared to a semi-auto carbine, rifle, or large-format pistol. My current go-to for home defense is an AR-9 pistol. I'd still take my 500 over a Glock or other normal-sized handgun, though. A pistol is what you carry when you don't expect trouble. If you're defending your home, you want something more serious and concealability is not a factor.

    Yes, I believe revolvers still have a place for this reason. Especially for a first-time buyer who might remain a less than zealous gun owner. Some people are going to lack the desire to take apart and properly clean a semi-auto pistol for the long term. Cleaning a revolver is easy. 6 good .357 Mag rounds will likely be sufficient for the vast majority of problems. Since this is a home defense handgun, it can have a long barrel and be relatively heavy(as long as the owner is strong enough to wield it) to dampen recoil and make it easy to land hits with.

    I was in my 30s when I bought a brand new gun. My Dad gave me my first rifle at age 10, a used Marlin Levermatic .22. At 12 he found a Frankenstein sporterized K98 8x57mm. I do not know how much game that rifle has taken over the years. He taught me reloading so I could feed that rifle. My first carry handgun was a used S&W Chief Special 38spl j-frame. My next carry gun was a used Colt 1911. I retired it when the G19 came out. It was used. I have a G19 gen4 I bought new. Still carry it, love it. I still have all my old guns, plenty of them were new when purchased. If you are new to guns, try to link up with someone who can be a mentor to help teach you. There are a lot of good folks out there, gun owners, of all types. I'm 65 and still love shooting, trying new firearms, always curious. If you are an experienced, long time gun person, try to help a new person. Be that mentor, advisor, instructor they need to keep them safe. A lot depends on being a good ambassador to the next generation, a kick butt example they might listen to and duplicate.

    Great advice on the matter. Just don't shut out .380 or .45 acp, and certainly don't shut out .40 S&W or 10 mm. Rent many and see what you really like and see what you can ACTUALLY handle. Don't just buy what everyone else has. Get what suits YOU and YOU alone. Above all pick one that fits you're hand and that you can make hits with. Everybody different.

    Pretty sure the reason he specified 9mm is cost and availability. Whatever you get, you want to spend time with it on the range to be comfortable firing accurately. That will be harder to do if you can't find/afford the ammo. edit: Not saying don't ever get other calibers. just saying that it's something you'll want to consider.

    This entire video was a joke. From the "don't buy revolvers" to "get something in 9mm" and on to "you should spend this much" was just too cringe to hear. And then he adds other specifications, like making sure your gun can handle a red dot and WML. Like they're cheap and easy to get when he's already said $300 is too difficult to find a good gun. Of course it is, but when you're a KZread celebrity who has a lot of money and gets sponsored by handgun manufacturers, then maybe you can buy that $1200 gun and $300 red dot and $100 WML.

Since then I've branched out to all kinds of different platforms, calibers and eras. I'm thankful for being fairly knowledgeable going into the firearm world, while also being humble enough to learn as much as possible throughout my years of shooting. Even after all these years, I'm still watching a video called "how to buy your first handgun." This video is vital for first time buyers, and still holds great value for seasoned firearm enthusiasts.

    One step I'll add in between visiting the gun store and visiting the range: Look up videos on how to operate said handguns and be fairly confident you know what to do. Not all handguns operate the same. The last thing you want to do is go to a gun range and expect to be able to put a gun on safe, just to find out that "safety" is only a de-cocker on a double action hammer-fire handgun. (True story. Rented a Beretta but I was smart and asked the associate about the manual of arms beforehand. Glad I did. That would have confused the hell out of me)

    It’s a wheel gun for me. I understand the issue with capacity. In my mind in a PD situation 15 rounds won’t be necessary. The first line of defense is situational awareness. Next is practice, practice, and practice. I never want to get into a long drawn out gun battle. I believe in the 3’s. 3 yards, 3 shots, 3 seconds. Just something to think about. Cheers!

    This is good advice regarding the purchase of a 1st home defense handgun. I also believe a heavy and long barrel .357 Mag is fine too since the power of that caliber makes up for the capacity, the weight helps mitigate recoil, the length of the barrel increases velocity, the long sight radius enabling better placed shots, and cleaning a revolver is about as easy as it gets.

    Thanks Colion. I like the idea of the firearm making you smile. That's the same when I'm looking to buy a guitar. I'll play it and if it makes me smile and it feels and sounds good then that's the one for me. That's how I felt when I bought my S&W Bodyguard 380. It made me smile when I held it in my hand; racked it and pulled the trigger. And the fact that it's so concealable was the icing on the cake. I hear what you are saying about a 9mm though so that's what I'm looking for as my additional EDC in the Smith & Wesson line (yeah... I"m a S&W guy; but I do have a Taurus G3XL 9mm that was given to me by cousin that I use for Home Defense).
