Thanks for all of the warm welcomes. I did in fact pick the ol gal up this afternoon at about 4:30pm. I spent the most of the day riding 2011 Harleys as HD had their demo fleet in town. As soon as the last ride was over, I headed north to Gander Mtn. I filled out the paperwork and had a new Sigma 9mm in my posession within 30 min. I have now read thru the owners manual twice from cover to cover word for word, and field stripped it twice. I'm planning on heading back to Gander in the AM to pick up some lube (which I didnt know I was going to need right away), give her her first rub down, and put 50-100 rounds thru 'er. I do however have a question for you guys already. I have 10 acres of land that I would be able to shoot on, and not have to run all the way to the other side of town to visit the range. How does one go about making a good, solid backstop? I know my dad always used a stack of 3 hay bales for his bow when I was a kid, what does one use for a fire arm?
