Forgive my lack of knowledge if I shouldn't post an intro here...

Just wanted to say hello. I've been a rifle man for many years but recently been bitten by the handgun bug. I have 3 in my collection...a Glock 21, Desert Eagle Mark XIX 50AE, and a handed down 1911 Colt my father carried in Korea in the service. Look forward to learning much here. ☺

Welcome.

Welcome! Sounds like you have a good start. Maybe add a 9mm next?

Well I did fail to mention I bought my wife a M&P .380 Bodyguard... I guess I have to claim that little cricket too.

Really don't know what will be next. No doubt the 9mm is a popular round but seems everyone around my parts has gone bonkers over a 10mm. IDK, I may go ahead and get the absurd out of the way and get a 500SW Mag Revolver...

Been reading a lot and talking with friends who do...my next project will probably be getting set up to do some reloading. Just seems like that would be fun to do.

Welcome aboard. There is a reloading section in this forum with lots of very knowledgeable and helpful folk if you decide to go that route. I did about a year and a half ago and I enjoy it a great deal. The moderators will probably appreciate it if you start a thread over there if that is the subject about which you would like input.

Great idea! I will do that.

Welcome. Don't worry about your lack of knowledge, we were all in the same boat at one time or another. Great to have you here. We try to share our knowledge, experiences, and sometimes opinions when it can benefit another; so speak up when you believe you can contribute. I'm sure you will be an asset here. Take care and stay safe.

Welcome, and don't worry about knowledge and experience. That comes to all of us with time. On that note I will buy the 1911 your father gave you. It is old and would very gladly give you enough money to buy a new model.

Thanks!

I'd never part with it! Dad just passed away in November and this gun is very special to me.
