New Member? Introduce yourself here (just intros, questions get answered elsewhere)

Howdy! I am a new member as well, although not a new shooter. My interests are rifles of all types and semi-auto pistols. I look forward to getting to know you all better.
 
Hello,

I pray all is well with everyone during this time. I've enjoyed shooting for over 15 years now. At 37, I'm sure there are plenty of other things I'll learn about them. My first firearm was a Ruger P89, the DC - decock only model. Plenty of experience with all sorts of old and modern pistols. Starting to get into rifle rounds for pistols now.

I take what I know and explore about guns and post them on my site gunversation. I'm here to chime in conversations and get to know knowledgeable gun people like myself.

Hi all new member here not new to guns hope to meet some new folks here seems like a good place to be
 
Greetings everyone - finally looking to purchase my first firearm for home defense/eventually conceal carry. I'm from Pittsburgh originally and we moved just a bit southeast of Jacksonville, Florida about 3 years ago.

I've been looking to make a purchase for quite sometime now, been a member of the NRA for a few years and have been doing my research. Just trying to do it the right way - education first and really looking forward to this new hobby. I think my wife is going to love shooting, too!
 
Hello new member been into guns my whole life always been more interested in the older guns though I have a couple ar15s I find myself or exited to shoot muzzleloaders and lever guns than any thing else looking forward to learning and sharing info on the forums thanks
 
Hi Fellow enthusiasts, I've been hanging around here for a few months, as a guest for a while and now a member. Enjoyed the many different discussions and occasional debate about our different hardware and opinions on our hobby. In a way we are all the same...yet very different. Being members of a forum that everyone gets a opinion on a subject and gets to debate the pros and cons of that subject just makes me feel like a true American and a valued member of this forum. We all like to laugh, joke, debate, tell stories, feel energized and pass along our trials and tribulations to our fellow members. That being said, I believe no thread should ever be locked without a administrator doing it with a majority consensus of the members involved in said thread....this is america...God Bess us all

Hello all! Joe here from Delaware. Used to be on this forum years back but just recently got back on.

As far as firearm interests go I'm mainly a Glock, S&W, and general AR guy.
I reload for 9mm, .357Sig, .45 Colt & Auto, 5.56/.223, .300 Win Mag and .300 Savage.
I shoot local "Action Pistol & Carbine" pretty much weekly which are scenario based shoots: everything from "your on the toilet and a home invasion occurs" to "your in total darkness with nothing but your weapon light facing zombies or vampires". Its fun stuff and usually quite practical as well.
Most of my shooting is defensive based but I do some distance stuff (500-1000yd) now as well.
I've also gotten into some older firearms as I inherited some from my 92 year old grandfather last year.
Savage 99 in .300 Savage, Old production Marlin 336 in .30-30, old production Rem 870 Wingmaster 16GA, a few Marlin/Glenfield Model 60 .22LRs and a few old Colt Government models in .45 and .38 Super.
As for reloading I like to tailor specific loads to specific firearms and love to get out my chronograph and try to play the velocity game with certain platforms I know are safe to handle my experimentation. (And I already know if I share any of my above limit loads to add the disclaimer!)

My EDC is a Glock 19 Gen 4 with either 124 Federal HST or Speed GD.
Truck gun is an AR pistol I built with a PSA lower, and Prometheus take down setup. Chambered in good old 5.56mm.

Thats about it for this simple trigger puller, glad to be back on the forums and long live freedom and the 2A!
 
Hi Y'all! New member here from Orygun. Originally from California. When you move here, it's a whole New World! Conceal permit? Here ya go! Same day pickup? You betcha! Fully stocked Dealers? Sure thing! Trade-ins? You betcha! Silencer? Fill out this paperwork! Went a little crazy at first--Glock, HK, Sig... then settled down a bit, built a custom AR-15, played with the FN 5.7 for a bit, now leaning toward SBR...

Hello, Thankyou for adding me. I'm a Disabled Gulf War Veteran. I am used to doing everything with iron sites. It's been approximately 20 years or more since I have done anything serious with shooting again. I have been on crew served weapons in just about all capacities.
I am a Seabee. I have done so much in my short little life that if I told all of it tou wouldn't believe me....lol... I've been in almost every natural disaster that you can think of.

I'm getting into hunting, and extreme long distance competition shooting. I have purchased the following: 6.5 Creedmore (Savage) new model, 338 Lapua also new model, AR 10 (DB 308) , next will be a 50cal or other.... debating on my next large purchase for this topic. I have many others for other applications and just plain neat stuff...

I need information about many things on these topics and to connect with like minded so I can learn and help others as I move forward with what I have in mind.

Welcome, how do you like the Savage rifles? I'm partial to them and LOVE my 110 BA. I also love my old Savage 99. Excellent shooters all around.

Congrats on moving to a free state lol.
 
Hi everyone,
Kirk here, everyone calls me 'Dutch".

New here, but not new to the content. I will probably ask more questions than i answer, but i know a few things!!! L/E firearms instructor since 2014, working on building a quality firearms collection, familiar with most platforms, but i try and focus on my rifles...primarily my AR platforms.

Look forward to talking with everyone!!
 
Hello,
I’ve gotten a lot of good information from the forums here over the past few months and figured it was time I joined. I’ve got a small collection of vintage military arms with my Inland M1 Carbine probably being my favorite of the bunch. I’m usually armed with lots of questions and this seems like a great place to gain some knowledge from some knowledgeable folks. Looking forward to some good conversations.
 
I'm on a couple other gun forums but wasn't aware of this one. I googled a question and it led me here where I got the answer so I lurked around a bit and liked what I saw so I signed up.

I'm a retired guy who's done a bit of shooting now and then most of my life, but just recently got much more involved with it. I've even started reloading and really enjoy it.

I've been shooting since I was a small child. Started reloading a couple of years ago. I want to learn as much as I can about shooting and reloading and this forum seems to have a lot of knowledgeable folks on it.
I have always been a big .22lr fan. I've got Glocks and ar15s and all that good stuff but .22 lr and .38 special just do something for me that the high powered modern stuff doesn't.
 
Hello all,

I’m Todd & I live in the Tampa Bay area. I love target shooting & every type of guns. My favorite guns are revolvers but I find myself getting into ARs & bolt action rifles as of late. I like working on my guns just as much as shooting them. I hope to contribute as much as I can.
 
Hello, another newbie here.

I have been shooting since I was around 10 or so, mostly for the purpose of hunting. I have kind of ignored firearms outside of that narrow scope and have been doing a little more digging lately. I figured I better make an account since I have been lurking here so often. I look forward to meeting you all.
 
Hello all,
I was introduced to firearms and I've been shooting and collecting them for about 10 years now. Most of my shooting has been 9mm and .22lr, but I'm starting to shoot centerfire rifle more. A lot of duckduckgo searches (down with google!) have directed me here, so I figured I'd make an account. I appreciate that this site keeps interactions genteel, and I hope to learn a lot from everyone.

Good morning everyone. Newbie here. I'm not from America, I'm from California. Can't wait to leave one day and move to a free state. Not military, not Leo. Just an average nobody living paycheck to paycheck. Here to learn, catch up.
 
Hey everyone,
I’ve been reading posts here for a while now, so figured I may as well join. Seems like every time I have a reloading question a google search somehow always leads me here (and I have had a lot).

I’m in SW Ohio. Grew up hunting and shooting but just in the past couple years my collection has grown, and I started reloading during that time- at first due to the cost of buying 45-70 ammo, but it has gotten to be a lot of fun, too. I reload for 45-70, 45 Colt, 44 Mag 45 ACP, 40 SW, and 357 Sig. Adding 30-30, 32 Win Spl, and 32-20 to that list as soon as dies and components get here (shipping times aren’t exactly what they used to be)

I haven’t done any sort of competition shooting, but would like to (if anyone has any suggestions for that in my area, they would be welcomed!)
