Another new member here though not new to firearms.
Also a left libertarian/liberal who has been mightily impressed with the knowledge and willingness to share that knowledge that resides in these pixels.
Esp the smithing threads aith old fuff and 1911 tuner shareing their many years of expertise. I think reading through the 1911 clinics I've found the cause of my crunched brass on the last round!
Thanks to all here for being so open and y'all just might see a whole lot more of us lefty types here as the climate is changeing on our side of the political aisle.
Hell even on the Great Orange Satan, Daily kos, any attempt to resurrect gun control of any type including the ridiculous AWB is usually shouted down with over 50 % of any respondents being gun owners and many ex LEO and Military.
As for your first gun, I've got to admit I'm a little biased. Either an old Ruger Security Six or a 1911 my pref. Springfield Armory though that one is probably out of the price range.
The Security Six in .357 is a heck of a defensive weapon and when you want the matching carbine Marlin makes a couple of beauty lever actions that will complete the combo.
Good luck on your first and enjoy.
And to the rest of you, great to be here and hope to be bugging Tuner real soon as I have a couple of q's on my SA 1911
