What’s the best first handgun for beginners? I’ve taught concealed carry and handgun safety for over a decade, and I’ve helped thousands of new shooters choose their first pistol. If you’re tired of researching and just want someone to tell you what to buy—this video is for you. Whether you’re looking for the best gun for self-defense, concealed carry, or home protection, I’ll break it all down in plain English. Revolvers vs. autos, 9mm vs. .357 Magnum, striker-fired vs. hammer-fired—I cover it all. This is the most straightforward handgun buying guide for beginners on the internet. No fluff, no sales pitch—just real-world advice.

I’ve been a firearms attorney, concealed handgun instructor, gun shop owner, and writer for The Firearm Blog for over 13 years. If you’re new to guns or shopping for your first pistol, this is a must-watch.
