Help Would a pistol gun work?

[0utsider.]

Okay so the only gun at the moment i am able to get my hands on is a pistol. Is this type of gun good to ctb with? If it is, what specific type should i use? How should I aim it? Any tips would be helpful. (i don't know a lot about guns if u couldn't tell..lol)

There's a megathread that has been helping me. Its incredibly informative on that kinda stuff.

You stated the problem with this method (for you) when you said you don't know a lot about guns. What do you know about them? Start with this: What is the size (caliber) of the pistol? It should be stamped on the side somewhere.

I have not gotten the gun yet, but i believe that a .45 caliber would be best. I've had a bb gun before so i know the basics i guess..idk

Wait. Are you buying this gun? For some reason I assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that you might be "borrowing" this gun from someone you know. I think that had something to do with your words of, "I am able to get my hands on...".

A .45 could definitely get the job done. Maybe not as good as a shotgun, but, yeah.

You really should learn all the parts of a gun, how it works, how to shoot it, before trying to use it to shoot yourself. You should be comfortable with it, handling it, loading it, shooting it, etc first.

Use the search for Methods you will find plenty there.
