Thinking about buying my first gun (self.liberalgunowners)

I've been shooting every now and then for the last 20-ish years and I'm a decent shot. I've shot a handful of different pistols, rifles, and shotguns. Leaning towards getting a pistol, not totally sure what I'd get. It would be for home/self defense but I like to go to the range sometimes. I'm considering:

Some sort of 1911
Ruger LC380 (is it even possible to get a CCW in CA?)

Any thoughts/recommendations?

But it is a bitch to learn on. They're just so heavy and they kick middle hard.

Keep in mind that there's 9mm versions too, which will cut back the recoil and the higher weight means it'll kick less than a gun with a polymer frame

That's true. I always forget that there's 9s. Mainly because I'm not a wimp ;)

Bad jokes aside, I do usually forget about them because in my head 1911 = 45, and anything else is not "really" a 1911. Which I know isn't accurate or useful, but it's one of those old man habits that aren't worth fixing lol.

Add my meme to your bad gun joke collection.

I'm a 1911 fanatic. Yes, one of those people.
