Hi you all from Spain
First of all, thanks to you all who make possible this magnificent forum. I live in Spain, but did my 10th and 11th grades of highschool in Michigan, back in 1989-1991.
There and then, I got hooked by target shooting sports and when I grew up, here in Spain, joined the FETO (Spanish Federation for Olympic Shooting), which is mostly the only restricted way to obtain a gun license here in Europe.
I´ve been target shooting since more than 10 years now, and I'm the proud owner of a look-like-new model 28-2 (from 1979) and a recently purchased (new production) model 29-10.
Since months I've been following your posts and this forum, so I decided to jump in. I hope my little contributions in the future may be of interest to everyone.
Best regards to all!

welcome kersey,
I'm a newbie like you, and from europe (Italy) too.
Wow, from what you say seems that in Spain the legal restrictions for owning a fireweapon are even higher than in Italy....!
Here is quite easy to get a gun licence (if you had no problems with the justice...) ; we only have restrictions on the number of pistols (short weapons) that we can own (max. 9)

Thank you guys for the warm welcome!
Yes, in Spain there are a lot of restrictions, but for target shooting we can own up to 10 handguns and about 20 longweapons.
That's enough for me, but for selfdefense we can hardly use more than nasty words! And for a bit more of info, I attended Jenison & Hudsonville highschools. Kind regards!

Welcome from Texas Mr. Kersey. Great forum for all things S&W, have fun, learn lots, share what you know.
Always grand to have a new member of the S&W family join in from across the eastern pond.
Love the wines from your country, Rioja is a real favorite of mine. Well, almost all wines are a real favorite of mine but I really do like those.

Welcome to the forum. We have traveled to Spain and find it a wonderful country, always enjoyed and evening stroll for some tapas and wine. I loved your statement "but for selfdefense we can hardly use more than nasty words!"

Welcome aboard!
I just added to my Spanish collection, found a very nice 1950 FR-8 to keep my CETME company.
