New members - please introduce yourselves here

Hello everyone, I joined about week or so and I can't stop looking at this site. I got away from shooting for about 5-6 years and did not even think about firearms until last Thanksgiving. A friend of mine presented me with the opportunity to purchase a S&W 3000 .12 gauge (I think it is a police trade in, all black with folding stock) with the money going to help an elderly gentleman pay for nursing care. Of course I couldn't say no. Started going back to the range 2 weeks after that. I'm a 36 year old male living in the great state of PA
 
I am a former Marine infantryman. Mortars were my game, I am now a Police Officer in Upstate NY. I love firearms and have been shooting for as long as I can remember. I joined this forum because I enjoy reading the feedback of so many gun lovers. Talk to you soon.
 
I'm joe from washington state. I'm in love with guns. Married a taurus
Pt111 about 7 years ago and have remarried 3 times and can't push
Myself to let any go must be sentimental. since then I have bought a Steyr M9 which I
Really enjoy but think its funny that hardly anyone has heard of them
the austrian police used them for years. After this I got married
For real and my lovely wife bought me my next gun a taurus 38
Special that I carry on my ankle as a back up gun. I'm not a big revolver
Guy but its the prettiest of the group with a gold plated trigger and
Hammer. The last love and my absolute favorite is the one my wife
Just got me for my birthday as u can see my wife is a amazing
Woman she knows what makes her man smile a beretta Px4 storm.
This gun fits me perfect. Any company making a product for
Almost 500 years must know what they are doing and I'm sure most
Of the military would agree with me. I enjoy reading up on others
Experiences and having opportunity to converse with people
Just like myself so far its been a pleasure. :)
 
hey y'all, grew up in Nebraska and am currently in Wyo for college. I hunt pheasant, dove, quail, rabbit, prarie dog, raccoon and coyote. Fell in love with rifle shooting a while ago and just bought my first dedicated varmint rifle. Cant wait to get some great input from the knowledgable guys on here.
 
Whats going on guys? I'm Mike and I live in North Central Florida. Well, I've been around guns my whole life, just never had one of my own. That is until just a few months ago. For my 31st birth day, my Uncle bought me a Savage Mark II GL and I've spent more time shooting on the weekend than I ever thought possible. Its funny coming from a family of Military vets and hunters I never picked up a firearm until this last year. I just it was just one of those things that fell through the cracks.

Like I said, I'm 31. Not married but living with my gf of 5+ years. No kids, collage education + common sense. While I have a pile of hobbies I enjoy, nothing can hold a candle to the feeling I get when I'm out shooting.

I only have two guns at the moment.

20 gauge NEF Pardner Pump (21" barrel) Stock + front sight
Savage Mark II GL. (Left handed bolt) Center Point scope 4-16x 40mm mil-dot.

I'd like to get a pistol at some point. Just to have something else to shoot at the range. I've shot a few different ones and so far I like he Ruger P95. But I have a buddy coming to my place for a visit and he's bringing his G19. It should be interesting.

Thanks

New Guy

Well I guess I should introduce myself. I am Big Ugly. As the name applies it is an accurate description of me in person and in mood. I am a 6'2" 300 lb balding redneck with somewhat of a short fuse.

I am seeking greener pastures in the terms of Firearms related forums cuz the folks over at TFF has rubbed me the wrong way. My handle over there was Big Ugly also. But after a couple of years over there I have come to the conclusion its time to move on.

So to keep this short, I am sending out a 'How Ya'all today" and looking forward to meeting new folks with a love for the firearm.
 
New from VA

Just wanted to say hi to all. New to semi-auto handguns and found this site. Looks to be a good one to help me along my way.

Look forward reading all the good advice and tips.

Glad to be here.

Hi,
I'm paul and live in NW Washington State.
Last Sunday I pulled the 4 handguns I've been ignoring for 15 years out of the safe and went to the range. I had a lot of trouble finding the middle of target but had a great time.
I noticed I have a lot more trouble seeing the front sight than I used to (especially the Trijicons on my 3914 that seem to have burned out) and the price of ammo :eek:
Anyway, I got enthused...Joined the range, applied for my concealed pistol permit, ordered up some new sights and bits and I'm shopping for a .22 S & W revolver (did I mention ammo cost more than I remembered?)

I'm enjoying the forum...
Thanks
paul
 
Hey all,

I've been looking at a few articles from this sight to learn about the basics of firearms. Everyone seems to be polite and helpful to everyone (my reason for joining). Hoping to buy my first firearm this year and learn a lot in the future.
