Smith & Wesson 410, part of the american pride series of pistols, was
designed as an affordable handgun for the american market. The sa/da
semi automatic pistol controls include an external hammer, trigger,
sliderelease, magazine release, and a safety located on the slide.
Engagement of the safety also de cocks the hammer. As an additional
safety, the pistol will only fire if the magazine is locked in place.
Factory sights and grip are plastic.
Used by law enforcement and civilians for personal protection, these are
traditional double action pistols chambered in .40 caliber S&W 40S&W
The magazines for the S&W 410 were designed to comply with the 10-
round capacity restriction of the Brady Bill. Since the sunset of the Brady
Bill, 11rd magazines are available that fit both the S&W models 410 and 411.
Preparing to buy your first handgun can be quite daunting.
They are not cheap. New handguns range in price from $250.00 to
$2,500.00. And to complicate the matter even further, there are many
different manufactures and choices.
What is probably most confusing to someone new to this field is the fact
that for every make and model of handgun, there are 3 gun magazine
writers telling their readers that their particular brand or caliber or gizmo
is the best, and 4 others saying that the gun in question will get the reader
killed.
Revolvers are a type of pistol that has a rotating cylinder containing a
number of firing chambers. They typically hold 5 or 6 rounds, each held
in its own firing chamber. They are generally cheaper to purchase than a
semi automatic, with a new one from a major manufacturer such as taurus
or rossi being in the neighborhood of $250.00.
Many women prefer to own a gun. What advice people have for a first
time handgun for a woman, who is not a big fan of revolvers,
something in the semi automatic category.
Be aware that some of the wannabe swat types and other video
game playing types will tell you to buy some artillery piece.
Disregard them and do a little homework.
The .22LR cal. is the way to go for a first gun. When and if woman gets
comfortable with it and can hit the target, then she could move up to a
bigger caliber.
