Go to a range that has a well stocked rental counter and ask advice. They will be eager provide you with the help you need. That's assuming you are in a firearms friendly state.

And if you like reading and getting internet advice first, I'd respectfully suggest you go over to a handgun forum. Being comfortable with longguns and hunting doesn't make you one knowledgeable in regards to handguns. Just as I, who is a pretty experienced rifleman (former military) and a frequent handgun shooter (weekly) ) doesn't ask a forum that is handgun-oriented about hunting questions (I came here).

If you want expert advice, go where the experts are. Absolutely no disrespect is meant to this group (or any other hunting forum), but I believe when seeking advice, you are best served going to a knowledgeable source on that particular subject.


Good luck.
