Good morning guys... TGIF! And, the company is throwing a bbq for us today. The only thing better than a free-lunch-and-blue-jeans-Friday would be a day off.
I've got a .357 Ruger Blackhawk, cowboy-style revolver. I've not shot anything in ages, so I'm learning all over again. Joined the local gun club last month, it's pretty fun. I can see this hobby becoming addictive!

As in a single action?
if so, I'm jealous.
I have seen bits and pieces of your thread, I'm really wanting to get myself a maverick for a project car, you don't see many anymore, your '67 is turning out beautiful from what I saw.......I wish I had the Cash/Space to do something like that.

Thanks Drew. It will take me quite a while, due to my limited budget. Everything so far has been more labor intensive than cash intensive.
Morning Rob. I didn't know you like to shoot. I occasionally dig out my Berretta 92F, and I also have a Browning .380 that I play with.

Rob, sounds like a nice little toy.

Yep, single action... just your basic six-shooter. After watching some of the other guys empty their clips and snap a new one in, I'm thinking I might have to get a semi-auto of some sort too. Of course, I'd burn through a lot more bullets with a semi-auto, and the hobby would get more expensive pretty quickly!
You have to watch out for us quiet guys, Pat... 
The wifey wants a 9mm of some sort since she has to test on one every so often for the military. She can't decide which one she wants, however.

I'd really like to have an H&K 9mm. I carried one when I was on security here at the plant. That is one sweet gun! Wouldn't mind have a Sig Sauer .45 either! Kind of pricey, though.

Rob, might I reccomend the Springfield XD 9mm, my father in law was looking over my shoulder, says you couldnt go wrong one bit with a Ruger 9mm either.
I'm starting to fancy the New Beretta PX4 SubCompact.......look into them and let me know what happens.

It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make...
There is a nice gun shop in Sioux Falls with an indoor range. They've got quite a few demo guns you can try out before buying. The wife and I are planning to do that sometime so she can figure out what she wants.
