Hello everyone. A friend of mine suggested checking out this site and from looking through it quickly it looks like a good community.

 

I've just received my FID and 2 pistol permits so I'm starting to shop around a bit. I plan on purchasing a 1911, either Springfield Armory or Kimber as well as a Remington 870. Then I eventually want to look into an inexpensive .22 revolver that I can use to teach my wife to shoot.

 

I'm getting into the sport/hobby for a few reasons. These days I think having firearms around for home protection is important. Also I was seeking a new hobby that didn't involve doing what I do all day for a living as I'm getting burnt out in that area and firearms have always interested me.

 

Looking forward to learning a lot and hopefully adding some info as well.

Hello and welcome to the forums!

 

You cant go wrong with a SA or Kimber although some people do not like the Kimber. I have a Custom II and love it. The Remington 870 is a great shotgun.

Welcome. I also drive through hillsborough every day.

Here is my springfield 1911. Its an operator MC. I absolutely love this gun. Its about $1200 or so and 100% worth it.

 

Welcome Paul

Hello and welcome to the Forums!

Welcome to the forums.

Thanks everyone. Looking forward to being able to contribute something to the board. After some discussion and more research I think my 870 will be just the Express and not the SuperMag. I don't feel I'll ever have a need for a 3 1/2 shot.

Welcome.

Welcome to the forum

Picked up my new Springfield Range Officer yesterday...can't wait to get it down to the range. I decided to go with the 870 Express...it's on order and should be here mid week next week.

Hey Big John....how are you man?? I'm doing well. Haven't talked to you in forever....been super busy with the growing shop.

 

As for the SCF&GPA....I've been there and like it a lot. I'm going to hopefully start the process to join.

I have been doing alright. I had not touched my or any car for a few years, but this year I am getting back to it. Glad to hear you and the family and shop are doing well. If you ever want to get out to shoot, I'm five minutes from range 14 on ft. Dix, let me know, we can bring some toys out and shoot.
