A Gun for Jason

A friend of mine is looking for his first handgun. He shoots some but he wants a good gun to take fishing and hiking. Powerful not to heavy or bulky and will carry well on his belt. He has 3 guns in mind. Slim Hog in 9mm or 45. Model 66 Smith 2.5inch

Kids comming over today.

Well my son and daughter in law are comming over today. I havent seen them for a while it will be a good day. I plan on taking daughter shooting. I have two hand guns I plan on teaching her to shoot. The first gun you should learn on is a .22 caliber. The bullet is called the .22 Long rifle. Its called that because it was a more powerefull round than it's predesessor's the .22 Long and the .22 Short. The picture is of the short long and long rifle cartridges sectioned to show how the projectiles and powder charges differ. Today you will primarily find the .22 Long Rifle round.

The other handgun is a revolver. A Ruger Blackhawk single action. Its a cowboy style gun. It is chambered in .357 Magnum but you can shoot low powered .38 Specials in it. That makes it OK for new shooters to learn on. The revolver style handgun has more weight hanging in front of your hand. This makes the gun steadier to hold.
