Re: A step in the right direction

A few very basic tips on safety since you now have the pistol, but perhaps little pistol handling training:

Don't point it at yourself.

Yeah, that sounds like a "duh" tip, but if you're new to pistols it's a pretty easy thing to do...most especially when holstering.

Don't "sweep" people - that is don't carelessly point your pistol at others, ever. Even if you're sure it's unloaded.

Keep your finger off the trigger until you're aiming. Index it - that is lay your trigger finger on the side of the pistol above the trigger guard. I'm sure you've soldiers do this with their rifles. People have a tendency to put their finger on the trigger when they first start handling a pistol. (Maybe it comes from playing with toy pistols when younger)

There is of course more to learn, but that's a start.
