Important Notes about Firearm Selection

• 22 single-action revolvers (western style) are a poor choice for self-defense and these are not allowed due to the prolonged time that is required for loading, unloading, and reloading – particularly for the novice shooter.
• Subcompact or ultra-small pistols that fit in the palm of your hand (such as 22’s, 25’s, 32’s, and many 380’s) are NOT a good choice for many people.  If your pistol does not allow you to make a secure grip with ALL of your fingers you will not have as positive an experience as the person with a full-grip handgun.  A too-small pistol can be dangerous for the operator!
