Things to think about as you are trying various pistols:

  • Needs: Pick the pistol that is best for what you want to do with it. We’ve created a quiz to help you narrow down which Hand pistols are best for you.
  • Fit: Make sure the pistol fits well in your hand, and the weight and shape of the gun are comfortable.
  • Price: Pistols are available in a wide range of prices, so make sure you are trying models which fit your budget.

Most dealers and ranges will let you try firing various guns to test different sizes and calibers for comfort and fit. Use our Locator to find a dealer or range in your area.

Start Training Immediately

Every gun is unique in the way it feels, handles, and fires, so it’s essential to practice with each gun you own to get as comfortable and familiar with it as possible. If you train regularly, you will build muscle memory for how each gun fires, so you feel natural and comfortable with each one, even in stressful situations.

Do You Need a Training License

Each state has rules for how residents can obtain a concealed carry permit. Some states don’t require a permit, and some states require training that includes classroom instruction and/or live-fire qualification. Most states also require a criminal background check to ensure the purchaser is not prohibited, for any reason, from being issued a concealed carry license.

Check your state’s government website to find out what rules your state has for concealed carry. You may need to check your county website as well.
