Default Hello from Hotlanta

Hello all,

Been lurking here for a while and always got good info so I thought I'd join up.

Learned how to shoot pistols from a WWII flight surgeon who flew over North Africa. He taught me on a Model 17 and a Model 27. He inspired my love for the revolver, one of many things he gave me for which I am grateful.

As of now I have three S&W firearms; 617 six shot, 642, and an M&P15. Love them all, but I need to get some work done on the 617. Also looking forward to a 686 Plus 4" one day in the future.

Welcome from Cincy.

The last time I was in Atlanta, I went to the Underground. That was in '74. Is it still there? It was all a blur.

I moved from Atlanta a few months ago, I lived there for 10 years or so. Yes the Underground is still there. It has been redone and doesn't have clubs there like before (I think), more shoppes now. Too many stabbings and what not I think.

Indeed the Underground is still here. Not a part of town I hang out in, though. Actually, I don't go further south than I have to.
Never heard of the Pleasant Peasant, but I'll look for it. Sounds like my kind of place.

Thanks to all for the warm welcome!
