If you ever get up to Cincinnati, drop a dime. I'll take you shooting. That goes for anyone on here. I always enjoy a day at the range.

Glad you had fun your first time out shooting handgun. They are all right though, it gets to you. I would suspect there will be a "what should I buy for my first handgun" thread popping up from you in the near future. I think we all look forward to answering that one.

Sweet! I've never shot a handgun, but did shoot trap for the first time earlier this year

You now need to go to the Gun Range and try out a few, I know the ones in Columbia will "rent" them to you and let you shoot a wide range of different calibers and styles. I personally have five pistols, and always want more. They are a good investment. Something that you can pass down to kids!
I got my Dad's Single Action Colt .22 with changeable cylinders, same leather holster as the day he bought it back in the 50's from the Western Auto.

yep, its another very slippery slope... BUT the nice thing about guns is that most of them hold their value pretty well.

I second that before you buy, try a few to see what you like. but don't worry, right after you buy one, you'll find a couple more really nice ones that you "need" also

(notice how half of us have already assumed that you WILL be buying them in the future..... yep, the slope is that slippery)

You're done for now, welcome to the handgun slope.
