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?

I know multiple people here who own AR-15s, and have shot multiple

They (stupidly) restrict a lot of attachments but the gun is legal here

Or, since it's home defense: the Remington ~~680~~ 870 (the 680 is a cod gun and idk why autocorrect did that lol) is great

The only people I know who have them here are vets. Either way I'm looking for something a little tamer, my gf would have a fit if I came home with an AR. I'll have to check out the 680.

I'm not seeing the 680 anywhere, you sure that's the right number? Maybe it was discontinued?
