Wow ... thanks 9mm that's great info, So where do you shoot?

[9mmepiphany]

SacValley - what they have listed as Sacramento/Sloughhouse above.

This isn't my list, it comes from a member on www.CalGuns.net.

You should take a look and meet other CA shooters too. I should warn you, it isn't as polite as it is here

If you have more questions, feel free to PM me rather than hijacking this thread
