I'm a fairly new member. I have been a member for a couple of months but have not really had the time to check out the site fully until this week. So far, I have found a lot of very interesting reading material.

I own a Glock 19, and a Kimber Ultra Raptor. I plan to acquire a few more pieces as time progresses.

Thanks THR!

New member,

My wife and I shoot USPSA. My primary is a Springfield XD-40 and my wife's is the XD-9mm compact. We both carry S&W model 60's as backup.

We train at Weapons Training School in Sonora, CA and Front Sight in Pahrump, NV. It's been fun reading some of the posts here.

Hello All. I hope I did not commit a grievous error by not introducing myself first, but her goes nothing.

I am a SC native with Ordnance background (US Army), a lovely wife and 2 kids. Currently we live abroad and I use forums such as this one to placate my gun jones. I hope to keep up with current events as well. Thank you to all for what has so far been a wonderful place to socialize.

VegasOPM · July 19, 2008, 06:22 PM

Just found the forum, and I'm a big fan already. I live in Las Vegas and work as the Production Manager on a Cirque show. I have been shooting seriously for 27 years (ouch) and have shot competitively in several disciplines (USPSA, IDPA, Paladin, skeet, trap, 3 Gun, DCM, GSSF). I have a bunch of guns- I quit counting at 70. I am most partial to handguns, shotguns and carbines- I guess that ADD and precision riflecraft don't mix. I also reload for handgun and shotgun.

Ok, I guess I'll make it page 100 on the welcome list.

The main thing is, I'M A HUGE 2nd amendment activist. I look for articles in virtyally every major newspaper that is anti-gun and attempt to write logical and measured responses to tell them how frigging stupid they really are, ahem.

I live in Spokane, have a CCW and use it. I love anything well-machined whether it's a Mercedes cylinder head or a couple of my FN-Fals. I'm into black powder, fine cutlery, old Jeeps and my wife and kids, not in that order, lol.

I still get excited when I get a great deal or find something really exquisite like a mint 6" Python for under a grand. I'd like to learn about reloading primarily because I do understand that every firearm has a different appetite for optimal performance, as long as the barrel isn't a sewer pipe.

Have a great one, 2 am here and I've been reading here wayyyy too long!

COMPNOR · July 21, 2008, 05:30 AM

Why not. I'm in the midwest. Enjoy going to the range. And I'm a proud Hi-Point owner. And I don't believe in the 2nd Amendment as it is currently written. So if I decide to actively participate, it should make for some interesting threads and hopefully add some different points of view.

juwaba98 · July 21, 2008, 02:28 PM

KarenTOC · July 21, 2008, 09:04 PM

Hi. I'm a complete and absolute newbie - not just to this forum but to gun ownership. I recently inherited two guns: a Colt Huntsman and a S&W 10-5. Prior to a month ago I had never shot a gun. Now I have two whole trips to a shooting range under my belt

I'm eager to learn more about my guns, and about gun ownership in general, but I wonder if maybe this forum is designed for experienced gun owners and not newbies such as myself? Any advice?
