Being a city boy and never had a father in my life, I can't say I ever handled a gun or even saw one outside a museum and that one time I saw my brother's handgun but that's a long story.
I would like something for home defense, they also have gun ranges within 10 miles from here so I'll probably be practicing on that for a while.
So I'm looking at within the year to purchase a shotgun and a hand gun. I have so far researched the DP-12, I want a double barrel pump bullpup only because it seems like a good choice, again, I'm a novice. For the hand gun I'm looking at a 9mm, probably a 1911 with 9x19 probably colt or springfield but I have no preference and I'm not sure if the 1911 is perfect only that it's popular and reliable. Price isn't too much of an issue but I don't need flippin hand crafted engraved bullshit. I probably want to stay under 5k for both together with cases, accessories and a few hundred rounds.
What will I do with these? Other than train on them, absolutely nothing until they're needed.
Any advice?
