Thread for self defense and weapons training (hexbear.net)

Not good for opsec, but this thread might be helpful for everyone; we’ve got a lot of knowledgable gun nerds on here. I don’t think I’ve ever held a firearm in my life but it’s time for me to get trained and git good at firing at random objects. So what would be the course of action for me, a silo’d individual in rural new England? How do I get a license? Which gun should I get (ngl I want the HK MK23) How do I get better at it, and at selfdefense?

I built a pistol one of my own if that's enough of an endorsement lol. I also have a 16" barrel one, both take Glock mags. The niche I see is cross compatibility with ammo and or mags, more points of contact/stability, and ability to use more robust optics. Good for home defense. 👍

A 16" barrel also really pushes 9mm out to it's max range and velocity. You could even take a deer or small game with it.

Sorry I know that's super condescending and arrogant to say. I'm no expert.
