So I got the opportunity to pick up a Sako a7 s in 243 For the general area we live in I'm wondering what the consensus is on ammo availability and is the 243 a good general round and your experience with it

Thank you very much!

So I took the plunge after fondling the Springfield and the girsan yesterday evening and again this morning I decided the Springer while nice wasn't worth the extra 2 to $300 for me not today so I bought an MC P35 I've only put about 50 rounds through it It shoots to the point of aim mind you I was firing at a target only 30 ft away but so far for about five out the door not too bad

I took my 10-year-old with me to the range the other day let him shoot my Smith model 28 I had to explain to him that I had 38 special in it not 357 Magnum but I would not try to scare or harm him Seems like once someone gets that flinch that takes forever to get over it if they ever do

The reasons I steer people to a small revolver are It's easy to operate Unless it's a rimfire they are usually easy to empty the spent casings from It's generally point and pull the trigger in the event of an ammunition malfunction instead of a rack to clear you pull the trigger again and move on to the next round I seem to run into most of these people when I am at the range and it's usually too late they have already made a purchase Thankfully none of the inexperienced have shown up with a 500 Smith & Wesson yet Most of these people are looking to carry what they have so when I see them show up with an LCP which is really snappy and tiny or a Glock 19 another one without a safety and they have no training I wonder if they're going to shoot themselves before they get to use it for defense I'm not a fan of Glock in their safe action trigger for first-timers You never hear of anybody getting Smith & Wesson revolver leg or double single action Beretta leg but Glock leg is a big thing

The new FN they had was railed and about $950 before any kind of negotiation which put it out of the running for me Maybe some folks that bought a basic version like the two I am considering can appreciate the FN with its rail and I'm sure other upgrades

The range that I shoot at also sells firearms I understand they can't follow people down to the range with each sale but I sure wish they could provide 30 minutes to an hour of instruction complimentary with every fire arm purchase There are an awful lot of people buying firearms that don't know how to operate them let alone the ramifications with concealed carry A Ruger LCP is a great extra or concealed carry for someone familiar with firearms but I don't think it's a good recommendation for someone that's never owned a pistol Yet there was a woman at the range with one and unfortunately no training whatsoever They are snappy and can be hard to hold but it was their recommendation to her I'm not trying to knock the place I know they're just trying to sell firearms and well not the worst thing they could have sold her definitely not the best in my opinion

I know what my recommendations have been and my reasoning for it to people unfamiliar with firearms first time shooters etc I'm wondering what everyone else thinks on this subject I've got to talk to a lot of people lately first time shooters people with just a little experience looking for something to conceal carry Me personally I tell just about every one of them a 38 revolver is a really good place to start

That's a pretty good deal Hoping I can talk my local gun seller into that or less cash I guess we'll see tomorrow It's kind of a tough choice between the Springer and the girsan It would be easier if I was able to shoot them both
