What did you qualify with, as that will play a part in determining the answer. If you qualified with a revolver, then that is all you can carry. Just a thought...TTU Bass Angler wrote:Hey everyone. I just joined and I need some help. I took my CHL course yesterday and I have not yet bought a handgun. I have decided to buy either a .38 special or a 9mm. I am a college student so my resources are somewhat limited. What is a reasonable priced handgun that would fit my needs?
Ditto what others said about buying used. For one thing, you'll get a fair deal. For another, you won't pay sales taxes if you buy face-to-face. And guns tend to last forever if they've been well taken care of, so don't let a little honest holster wear put you off if you're looking a good running used gun from a quality manufacturer. Also, if you haven't already, scan the "for sale" threads here. You'll sometimes find affordable deals, and you'll be buying from a fellow CHL.
