One thing ya'll didn't tell me that i think new gun owners should know about is the ease of gun breakdown and cleaning across models and types.
I love my glock, breaks down into like 4 peices, the slide, barrell, recoil spring and lower. i can break it down clean it and put it back together in like 5 minutes.
The Ar15 is a little more complicated but still pretty simple as well split up the upper and lower, remove the bolt carrier and charging handle, snake the barrel, clean bolt carrier and put it back together.
Pump Shotguns though
too many little pieces and 1911's
fukk that shyt entirely, i off those for good now.
Only guns i'm ever buying in the future will be AR's, Glocks, or Revolvers. I'm not trying to becoming a licensed engineer messing with the other stuff.
