Im new to this site and am very exited to increase my knowledge about firearms. I have been going to the range for about a year with my Dad and friends and love it. I recently got my own gun which is a smith and wesson sd40ve and so far i like it. Now Im interested in a new firearm and Im seeking advice. Im thinking between either a smaller compact gun, possibly for concealment later down the road, or a smaller caliber lever action rifle. If anyone has any suggestions I would very much appreciate it. Thanks.
