I'm currently eighteen and have wanted a pistol for the longest time. I'm no stranger to handling pistols or shooting them but I am a stranger to the variety of guns, the parts of the guns, and everything in-between. And I'm not as familiar with them as I am with small game rifles.
And because of this, self research is quite difficult. But I figure I might as well start planning for when I turn 21.
Basically I want a pistol that is aesthetically pleasing, accurate, dependable and has a decent bullet capacity.
I can't for the life of me remember what they're called but they single action revolvers with longer barrels; the kind you would see in western movies have so far been the most comfortable to shoot. My grandfather has a few but I haven't shot them in a awhile. Edit: Ah I'm retarded! I remember now, they were single action 45 colts. :]
If I go for a more modern gun, I'm set on a .45. And am liking a lot of the Kimber 1911's but have no idea what the main differences in the models are.
Also I'm leaning more towards a shoulder/chest holster rather than a hip one. Largely because I commute on a bicycle and a hip holster would be in the way. Any recommendations of holsters to keep in mind?
Another thing I just thought of, affordable target ammunition is important as well. :]
Thank you in advance!
