Being a new firearms owner can have a steep learning curve.
For some, the seemingly technical nature is one of the aspects that drew them to firearms.
For others, that seemingly critical attention to technical details stood as an obstacle.
If you are a first-time gun buyer, the ins and outs of a semi-auto pistol can seem really confusing at first.
The reality is that guns are deceivingly simple.
Firearms ownership can be a fulfilling hobby for some.
For others, owning a gun is nothing more than owning a tool to get a job done.
Learning how to take down your pistol for cleaning is not as tough as it first may seem.
There is nothing wrong with either approach.
Tools actually make a solid comparison to firearms in some ways.
At the same time, understanding some tool vocabulary can help to get the job done.
Understanding the parts and controls of a new handgun is a must, but it is easier than you think.
Ive worked to teach my children some tool terminology.
To complete their task, they need to have some rudimentary vocabulary in tools.
I feel that the same example applies to guns.
The Springfield Armory Hellcat has a easy-to-use loaded chamber indicator just to the rear of the ejection port. Note how you can see the rim of the chambered round through the hole.
At some point all new gun owners have questions.
When they do, communication is much simpler when the question is posed in understandable terms.
Is your gun vocabulary critical?
The sights of the Hellcat are the excellent U-Dot sights, made up of a U-notch rear and a tritium/luminescent front dot.
Can it help you learn and communicate with others?
Do you know what a frame and a slide is?
How about a slide stop?
Do you know how they work?
These are important points to understand, and can be daunting to a first-time gun owner.
