Hey all!
I have shot pistols, revolvers and rifles (pretty much anything I could get my hands on) for a number of years. I had some health issues that made it very difficult to shoot for a while but they have been much improved. Joined the folks at Adventure Protection yesterday for their basic handgun class. Figured it was a good refresher, even shot a 460, the “Big Ass Revolver.” This forum was mentioned in the slides and our Range God Steve had a waguns shirt so I figured this had to be a good forum. Looking forward to speaking with you all.

Welcome to WaGuns! It was great to meet you and chat with you yesterday!

From our discussion yesterday, it sounds like you have experience with quite a few different guns. So let's say you're going to the range purely for fun (not to train, or anything like that). What's the one gun, or type of gun, that you think is simply the most FUN to shoot?

I really enjoy the Mark III Hunter, but I love shooting my P95. For fun with rifles, I’ve always enjoyed the Mosins (they go boom!) and the PS90. :-)

I’ll be getting my first Kimber here shortly as I needed a decent size carry pistol. Fell in love with the Kimber Micro 9. Good size for a carry, can get all my fingers on the grip and I can work the slide easily. So you never know, the Kimber could become my favorite.

When its time to go in:
That place of steel and stone. I pray that you will keep me safe, so I will not walk alone. Help me to do my duty, please watch me on my rounds.
Amongst those perilous places and slamming steel door sounds. God, keep my fellow Officers well and free from harm. Let them know I'll be there too, whenever there's alarm.
Above all when I walk my beat, no matter where I roam. Let me go back whence I came, to family and home

Welcome. There is a kimber micro 9 here in the classifieds with a VERY fair price and 3 mags. It has some honest holster wear on the edges but has not been shot much at all.
