Applied on 2/17 and picked it up this morning from Worcester PD, restrictions are target & sport. Dropped a check in the mail to Derek also to "go green!"
So I'd like to go out shopping for a handgun, but not sure of the handling etiquette. I've read people comment that one firearm's trigger feels better than another, but how do you get a sense for that when shopping around? It seems dry firing is frowned upon?
I've read good things about the SW M&P9 and Sig P226, so those are at the top of the list to look at. Plus SW has the 2 free mag promotion until the end of the month.
I've fired a few handguns in the past - couple years ago for my "day of festivities before marriage" a few friends and I went to Boston Gun Range; between the 4 of us we had an AR-15, HK 9mm, Glock 9mm, and Kimber 1911 .45. I don't recall specific models...I was a total newbie to the sport that day. The HK felt good that day....the AR was fun too.
A couple weeks ago while on business travel I went shooting with a friend in FL. Shot a Bersa .380, Springfield XD compact 9mm, and a Browning Hi-Power. The Bersa was too small in my hands, but I enjoyed the Springfield and Browning! Too bad neither is "approved" in MA.
