I am looking for my first hand gun. I moved to Tx. from NY several years ago and recently got interested in owning a firearm. My son-in-law took me to the range once, and I was hooked. Home and self defense are my primary motives for owning a gun, but I also enjoy shooting at the range. I have taken my CCL course (since Texas is not open carry) and a basic handgun safety course.
I am looking for suggestions on my choice of guns. I have been told that revolvers are good for home defense because they can remain loaded, unused for a longer period of time without damaging the mechanisms more so that semi's. But it seems a 9mm would be eaiser to conceal.
I know this is an open carry site, but I am new to this whole subject and just looking for advice.
