Yep FNG here. Looking forward to getting some good info and advice. Unfortunately the reason I started to post on forums was to bitch about bad customer service. Once I find the proper thread for that you will all hear more about the stg556. Anyway nice to be on board and better informed.

OldMrsInMs · May 13, 2008, 04:52 PM

Hi there, a not so old Mrs living in Mississippi formerly Canadian Army now married to retired American Army. I just got my first "non-issue" gun (so much more fun living in the US!) a Kahr CW9093 9mm and had it down to the range for a quick 100. Excellent so far, love that it fits my hand (as opposed to the browning) and considering it's brand spanking new it shoots fairly true, now if only I did...lol...

I'm looking forward to reading the forums and picking up pointers and information. I'm not a hunter (not opposed to those who do, though) I'm strictly into target and shooting for fun.

Bronco289 · May 13, 2008, 06:59 PM

I'm a new member from Missouri. I will be taking my CCW course on June 15th and look forward to learning more here.

I have the following now, and a S&W 642 soon for carry:

Sig Pro 2022, 9mm
Remington Speedmaster 552-A .22

Savior 6 · May 13, 2008, 08:25 PM

OldMrsInMs, that's good stuff. I am also not an avid hunter and am more interested in the tactical side of firearms.

Bullzaye · May 14, 2008, 06:19 AM

Hello to all! I'm new to this forum as of today. I'm originally from Ohio, but have been living in AZ since 1994. I spent 15 years in the USAF. Since then I've worked at a gunshop here in Phoenix (Scottsdale, actually) and worked 4 years at Motorola. I've been employed at Intel since 2000.

A quick synopsis of my gun collection would be: Many "black" rifles, to include Colts, H&Ks, Springfield Armorys, Bushmasters, Armalites, Daewoos, FNs, several makes of AKs & SKSs, Garands...okay, I guess I'm straying away from "black" rifles now...I have a few old military surplus rifles as well. Handguns...Glocks, H&Ks, Walthers, Sig-Sauers, CZs, etc. I also have quite a few knives...Chris Reeve, Microtech, Benchmade, Cold Steel, Hideaway Knives, Paragon, CRKT, Boker, Puma, SAK, etc. I also have a rather extensive collection of high-end flashlights: Mr. Bulk, Gatlight, Drake/Draco, Surefire, Wolfeyes, McGizmo, SPY005, Fenix, etc. Last but not least...my motorcycles: I have a 2002 Triumph Sprint ST, a 2001 Kawasaki KLR650, a 2000 Kawasaki ZR-7, and a 1998 BMW R1200C.

Forums I've frequented: Battlerifles (which became AmericanBackyard, which then became EOTAC), ArizonaShooting, EDCforums, Flashlight-Forums, Candlepowerforums, & Motorcycleforum.

Hopefully I can contribute something useful to this forum, and learn from you all as well.

TJayN1231 · May 15, 2008, 10:26 PM

I recently acquired my pistol permit, mostly to make sure my family handguns weren't lost. My father passed away six years ago, and I couldn't believe that NYS law declared that pistols must be claimed within something like 5 days. Lucky for me we knew several members of the local law enforcement and were able to maintain possession of family fire arms for a few months while my mother was able to grieve properly before worrying about permit requests etc. It was a few years before I was of age to get my permit, however I am now the proud owner of a Colt Army Special .38 revolver, Colt Woodsman .22 s/auto and a Webley Mark V .455 Revolver. The later being the prize of my “collection.” I also just recently purchased my first handgun, a Beretta PX4 Storm 9mm. I am currently awaiting my amendment to be approved (unfortunately in my county this takes several weeks), but can’t wait to put several thousand rounds through my new beauty once approved. The moral of my story, always make sure your family fire-arms are properly accounted for, because you never know what treasures you might posses, and possibly lose if the worst is to happen.

freebird60 · May 16, 2008, 02:08 PM

Been lurking on here for months now. Spent several weeks going thru old post first. Have had my CCW since 1999. My first carry gun was a used S&W .40 that was crap. Bought my current(and only gun) Taurus pt140 from the MCX for $380 in July 2004 that I carry in a IWB or OWB uncle mikes holster(wish I'd found this place sooner!). I'm broke, but have my sights set on getting a Dan Wesson compact this summer. I'm a Black man(old-school, never could board the "African-American" thing), Democrat(GO Webb!), liberal(oh-no), motorcycle lover, and have a daughter at ODU. My 20yr highly undecorated Navy career left me unprepared for this whole Bill of Rights thing. I'll have mostly(all?) questions, so I doubt I'll post much(the whole "someone already ask that" flame thing), so feel free to grill me, I might know something.

Hey ! I'm surfing this morning looking for sites that I can research a rifle I have to see what the value is. Found lots of sites but nothing for the specific rifle i'm researching. Can anyone help me find a good place to look?
I'm researching a Winchester 1894 Saddle Ring Carbine, with a serial number 10023856.

Your help is greatly appreciated !

Hello all. I've reviewed this board on several occasions and today decided to join in. Mostly motivated by the potential for infringement on gun ownership and carry. I am pretty much a strict constructionist and believe that the Constitution is very clear on the right to keep and bear arms. As a former Marine and Detective, I am positive that an educated armed people cannot be dominated or subverted. I shoot .40 S&W almost exclusively. Having carried both the 9mm and .45 ACP I like the potential and stated performance of the .40. I have two Beretta 96's, a Sig 2340, H&K USP, S&W M&P 40, Glock 22, and a Ruger P94. I shoot regularly with them and am a member at the local indoor range as well as an NRA member and an IDPA member. All the best to everyone, enjoy shooting and be responsible, active citizens-VOTE.
