New To Guns - Woman

Welcome, you know it's an addiction right?

Welcome to [email protected]

Recommend you find a professional instructor and pay for at least a couple one-hour sessions.
Read and heed Jeff Cooper's four laws for gun safety: Cooper's Four Rules
For practice/range ammo check out freedommunnitions.com.
For self defense (SD) and home defense (HD) I recommend Hornady Critical Defense ammo: Hornady Manufacturing Company :: Ammunition :: Handgun :: Choose by Caliber :: 380 Auto :: 380 Auto 90 gr FTX® Critical Defense®
Remember, practice doesn't make perfect; perfect practice makes perfect. Set your mind to thinking every shot you make is the one that will save your life.
Here's a couple good vids to watch:

Welcome from Iowa! That's exactly the kind of people you'll find here and a wealth of knowledge to boot! Congrats on your P238..more will follow lol. :thumbsu:

Welcome aboard.

My advise is:
Step 1. Find a Shooting coach. Be picky. Someone who is.patient, calm, and professional.
Step 2. Book range time. Find.out when the.range is least busy. So you don't feel embarassed.
Step 3. Disassemble and clean the weapon before your first range visit. I have posted some detailed steps on how I think is the best way to.do.that, but feel free to ask others
Step 4. Go out on the internet and order 1000 rounds of ammunition. I personally use speer lawman target ammunition. It has the highest reliability. That or remington. Stay away from Winchester white box, as it sometimes has issues withsome of the other users here.
Step 5. Spend an hour of one on one classroom coaching on the basics. This will give you confidence before you step into the range.

Have Fun
Welcome aboard.

Welcome to THE friendliest and most helpful gun forum on the net.

I've been very pleased to see the growth in interest of firearms among women.

And there is FAR more support in the marketplace for women in terms of concealed carry needs than existed just a few years ago. Many companies and many products. Two great, very reputable, starting places who provide top quality - very well made - products are below.

Welcome from S.Calif. You're already getting sound advice. No prob. being green here, I bought my 1911 without ever handling a semi. I had no idea about the controls. Took a gun handling and safety course while gun was in Cali's 10 day quarantine. Best thing I ever did!
