Beginner - First Firearm Anything i should know about
Hello All,
Im 34 y/o M, and just purchased my first firearm, for self defense and safety.
Honestly was looking for a Glock G19, as i heard it was beginner friendly, but CA has apparently made these impossible to get. The clerk at the local shop tried pushing a few different handguns, but i heard SIG was best when it comes to aftermarket equipment and support.
Anything i should know? Any additional purchases you think are necessary?
I believe id want a sight and a flashlight.
I dont need anything too fancy, as i don't imagine taking it out too much.
Appreciate any tips, advice, recommended products etc.
Link below is the exact model i got.
