Thanks for the welcome. I don't know why I haven't spent much time here but I agree the folks here are knowledgeable and freely express their opinion. I don't wear my feelings on my sleeve; 23 years as a cavalry officer cured me of that.

I am not new to forums and have learned much from THR, 1911 Forum, Defensive Carry, the Firing Line and others. I will look to this forum more often in the future.
