Do you remember their names? Did you end up buying one of them?


For people who are new to guns, a little uncomfortable, and probably not going to get to the range on a weekly basis, I usually suggest:
Smith & Wesson 627 PRO (about $900) https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/52370/smith+%26+wesson+627+pro+357+mag+4%22+adjustable+sights+stainless+8+round

Get some quality ammo like Hornady Critical Defense. Sold in boxes of 25 they run about $25. You can get cheaper target practice ammo, but I recommend shooting one cylinder full of defense ammo each time you practice.

Fort Knox Pistol Safe (About $260) -- for peace of mind - safe storage is key.

I also recommend getting a simple, but high-quality holster and belt. Combined they shouldn't cost more than $150.

I also recommend getting 8 snap-caps (fake ammo) that you can put into your gun and practice pulling the trigger.

As other's have said, enroll in a gun handling and safety course. Practice at the range.

Just my 2 cents on a new gun for a novice.

But also invest in quality locks, security lights, and alarms as well as good firearms.
