    I'm definitely open to this.
    Adrian Rosslee for training in Pretoria.

    Regarding the OP; get another gun, maybe the G43x or G48.

    I don’t know your personal circumstances, but guns that are difficult to conceal are often left at home.

    A firearm isn't the be all and end all, consider investing in a decent handheld torch eg Olight, Surefire etc, pepper spray eg Sabre Red or Fox Labs, attending a Stop The Bleed course and purchasing a tourniquet at a minimum, consider investing in a fixed blade knife carried on your waistband this will also take a substantial amount of research and training but it can be highly useful. A WML is also useful but it requires an additional holster and the items listed above should be higher priorities.

    As an added, subscribe to YouTube channels like Active Self Protection (think situational awareness)

    Lastly conduct research and ask questions before you purchase accessories, so you can buy once cry once!
    Thanks for the advice. There is definitely a lots to consider there.
    I will look at the additional items mentioned (torch, spray, etc).
    Training seems to be my biggest priority at the moment. I will definitely make some work of that.

    Thanks for the recommendation. I will add Adrian Rosslee to the list.
    I will see how things work out with the G45. The plan is definitely EDC and not leaving it at home. If it turns out that I do end up leaving it at home I will absolutely be replacing it with a more appropriate model.

    That is definitely within my budget.

    What do I need to start getting into reloading?

    Another reason to get a second (and even third) defensive handgun is because if you use your gun in self defense, it gets sent off for ballistic testing by SAPS, and that can take years.......

    Hmm, this is not something I have considered yet.

    What are the legal considerations for multiple SD firearms?
    I'm getting my G45 on S13. I can only have one right?
    Can I get a second (and third?) handgun on S16 and use them interchangeably?
    Are there are restrictions I need to be aware of?
