I know nothing about guns. Whats a good price for a "self protection" gun, for say use against robbers? Would a novice be able to use and aim one? I'm just concerned about the increase of crime in my neighborhood (including some in broad day light).
The Taurus G3 can be bought for around $250. USD. https://youtu.be/7tiS59eejvE
That's the first part of your question. The rest has a lot of variables in it. Body mass, Upper body strength, eye sight. Note I didn't say anything about gender. There's a lot of women that shoot better then a lot of men.
Just a tiny bit of training and you should be able to hit a man sized target at 15 feet no problem.
Unless someone is shooting at you. Is anyone more that 15 feet away really a threat?
Now if they are running at you with a knife or bat. Then yea, empty the mag into 'em. It's amazing how quickly an attacker can cover that distance. So don't wait until they are 5 feet away before firing.
Don't get hung up on capacity. FBI says most civilian gun fights take place at 'bad breath' range and under 3 shots fired.
Remember you are not trying to kill anyone. You only want to stop the threat of violence to you or your family.
Usually a couple of holes in someone that are leaking blood with normally stop most attackers. If not... Then there's 3... 4... 5.... 12.
If you need more specific help just ask, or PM me.
