My range is in my backyard, so I shoot lots.

I have alot of interests in firearms, and especially like Glocks and S&W wheelguns. I also enjoy basic gunsmithing. I hope I can add some of my knowledge to the forums.

I'm not a hunter but I support the sport and encourage it to flourish.

I'm just small time, having a 1911 currently and in the market for a CCW for the wife.I've owned a few rimfire rifles and shotguns in the past and I really dig the .17's. I want to add to my collection as $$$$ allows.

I hope I can add something, if nothing more then questions, to the site and pick the brains of those willing to share.

I am from the York PA area and have been a gun fanatic since I can remember. My older brothers got me into recreational target shooting and I was hooked. As of right now I only have one firearm which of course judging by my user name is a smith and wesson m&p 40 full size. It has been great to me so far and I have put at least 800 rounds through it so far in the short time I owned it. My fiancee and I have our liscense to carry firearms. She has a Taurus Ultra lite .38 special. We both carry concealed everywhere it's legal. I was surprised to learn how gun friendly PA actually is. I am proud to live in a state where we our 2nd amendment rights seem to be protected. Well don't mean to ramble on, I look forward to being a member of this site and hopefully meeting new people and sharing interests. Thanks for your time.

Hi all, Tom from New Jersey here. New to the group and to shooting targets. I was a hunter for many years, but health and age conflicts with that. I have been learning by searching topics of interest here. My dad was born in West Pittston so I have some roots in PA.

Hello all. A little late for this. My name is Justin. I am 21 years old and have backgrounds in fire, EMS, and security. I currently am a technical support representative for a cell phone company. So, I'm kind of a geek. I also enjoy firearms. I currently own a Glock 19 and hope to get an AR-15 and Remington 700 .308 soon.

Hi all.

Noob here, both to hand guns and to the site. Been trap shooting and target shooting since I was 14, but pistols are new for me. And I'm not all that good a student at age 54.

Wife is former Federal LEO, she's the one who has all the skills, but I'm catching up pretty quick.

We're both sharpening or skills and waiting on concealed carry permit apps. She could re-up her federal permit, but that would require qualifying, and she's not interested in going through that again.

Well, that was a wordy intro, wasn't it.

I hope to learn a lot here.

hey, new to the scene, recently bought my first handgun (glock 23) and really like it. Since then, I find myself checking this site often, as I can usually find answers to any questions I may have at the time. I'm a little dismayed at how much it costs to keep up this hobby re: ammo prices, range prices, etc. Anyway, its alot of fun. I have my ccw permit now, and am interested in what is the best type of holster to get, best places to shoot, and by the way: Target World in chalfont blows! Don't go there
