Sell guns at their stores but also do ranges, and they have several range guns you simply pay the ammo cost to test them out.
I would start with a 9mm or something with a smaller kick in a handgun, hard to beat a 1911 for my taste.
As mentioned above, if you are looking for a simple and effective home defense weapon, a tactical shotgun is The way to go imo.
I order most of my weapons online from Buds Gun Shop.
