Hi Im Steve. Im in process of getting springfield armory xdm elite. Ive been reading alot on subject for a bit. Im 66 & disabled. Just wanted for home defense. Its just me.ive always got questions. Every time I go to you tube or google it leads to other questions. Im on fixed income so Id like to have just basics. That seems to be growing at every search. To start, I was lookin to see about range bag wat material and wat to fill it with? One thing I saw was shot timer. This confuses me. I havent touched pistol yet and now i should get fast? I dont have any plans to compete. I just want to be able to use it and have basics. Are snapcaps good idea for home training? Wat would be a good amount of ammo to have? Defense & training? There is a range close by but my back pain limits me alot. If I lived or had friend in the woods that would be great cheap way to train. Salesman at gun shop wasnt much help. He was kid. I plan on having cleaning kit, loader. Eventually getting flashlight prob an optic. Its got high sights. Had a issue this morning having successful transfer. I got question wrong. He told me where to go on line to figure out wat i answered wrong. Goin back tomorrow to try again. Hopefully i correct it. He cant tell me wat it is. Makes me feel like dumdum. I think i got it. Anyway thats it for now im sure there will be more. Thanx
