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?

My source is from watching a lot of high round count reviews from reputable gun tubers, and reading lots of first hand experiences/skimming forums. I haven't seen anyone have an issue with the RXM. I've shot it a few times too. It's made to spec as a Gen 3 clone, so it's engineering is solid. The really convincing evidence for me is the recent Honest Outlaw video where he says he's done-zo with Glock, and proceeds to show all the malfunctions he's had over the years. Glock is a great gun, it just seems you can get more for your money with clones now. I'd happily trust my life to a G19 or an RXM, but if I don't have to pay more, I won't.
