I wholeheartedly agree. If the split was for technical reasons, I understand. But my preference would be to have one handgun forum. The reason is this: I am a relatively new handgunner, and only post a question or comment occasionally. Very rarely do I get on the old handgun forum to look for a specific answer or post a reply. Mainly, I just like perusing the posts. I have learned so much by going to a single resource and sometimes clicking on posts that I didn't think would interest me, only to find a nugget of information that helps me, or a post that challenges my preconceived notions. Furthermore, I, like most of the folks on this site, own both semi-autos and wheelguns, and the interesting, enlighteneing, and often contentious discussions we have on the merits of one gun vs. another are the stuff that keeps me coming back for more. Now with this format, I feel like I will have to switch back and forth between two, and probably three handgun forums to make sure I don't miss anything. I really don't think we need a split. Can't we all just get along?
