CyclingCraig 11 Posted October 12, 2015 Hi All Been following here for a little while now, finally decided to sign up. Pretty new shooter, took the full NRA Basic Pistol course back in June. Been getting out to the range as much as time will a lot with a wife and 2 young girls at home. Ended up with the S+W M&P 9 for my first purchase and followed that up with the M&P22 for practice. I already put a Apex DCAEK kit in along with the Apex polymer trigger in the 9mm myself. SUCH a difference, night and day. Great experience taking it apart and really learning how the firearm operates (I'm a/was mechanical engineer). Also put on a set of the TruGlow TFX sights on it. Next for my plans is taking the "Pistol-2" course at RTSP. -Craig Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CyclingCraig 11 Posted October 13, 2015 Thanks for the warm welcome. Looking forward to learning and becoming proficient with my firearms, with safety being of the top concern. Teach those ladies (all of them) how to safely and properly use firearms My wife actually took the Basic Pistol course with me. If there are firearms in the house, she MUST know how to handle them properly and safely. I have to make sure I get her to the range to, to ensure she stays comfortable. When time comes the little ones will learn the right way. (They are only 3 and 4.5 right now) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
