Hopefully you have someone who knows a thing or two about guns to help you learn how to handle one...if not find one...also if you have kids or even if you don't you'll want something to lock you pistol up in when it is not in use
I like .22s over a shotgun of anytype...less to pick out...I either use my 10/22 or henry .22 lever action...of the two I have never had a jam in my henry
I was cleaning my rifle while watching my 3yro child...I kept thinking where did i put these parts...then realized she was helping me clean on the floor behind the couch...man i was going crazy wondering where I could have dropped those parts
Sorry but another 2 cents worth make sure you are measuring the temp of the kydex not the temp of the oven...a infered digital themometer works best... go slow when heating to avoid melting or curling of the kydex
