Hello everyone, my name Is Jack and I've lived in San Antonio for 20 yrs now.
Retired military (and retired again) with a lot of family around the area.
I've been around long guns all my life but have never owned a handgun. Now seems like my time to change that. I'd like to get two handguns, one for me and one for my wife, and take a concealed carry course for both of us shortly thereafter. The only handguns I'm familiar with are the .45 caliber 1911s from my Navy days. I like those but they seem "supersized" for concealed carry (but just right for home defense).
I've been observing occasionally for quite awhile but figured I should get my two posts in before I start searching in earnest for sidearms.
Since I am a relative rookie, my goal for now is to gather good information and start processing. TGT seems like a great place for that.
Thanks for a Texas specific place to start looking and get smarter on guns.
