Default Joining from the Tar Heel state

New to the forum, but not to shooting. I am getting reacquainted with revolvers, though; I'd forgotten how much fun they are to shoot, until trying out my new-to-me M19-3 this past weekend.

I like anything that goes bang, and while my collection isn't extensive, I've worked to get some fairly nice, or interesting guns in it. I sold off a few about 10-12 years ago, I wasn't thinking too clearly and should have held onto them. I had a 645 9mm and a M66-2 (that I'd owned over 25 years), and regretted both sales, especially the M66. I finally found a nice 19 and plan to take it to the grave with me.

I do a little IDPA with my SR40c Ruger, and I think I'm going to give the revolver a try, too. I enjoy rifle shooting, and have a fairly nice Springfield M1A, and I do some CQB with a .300 Blackout M4 that I built. And just so the shotguns in the safe don't feel slighted, I also enjoy clays in all manners; skeet, trap and sporting clays. It isn't hard to spot me on a skeet or trap range, I'm usually the only one with a side-by-side. I have one in 20 ga, 16 ga and 12 ga, and shoot them all regularly.

I reload for all the pistols and rifles I own, and am a certified NRA Instructor for pistol, rifle, and shotgun, also a NRA Chief Range Safety officer, and a NC Concealed Carry Instructor. I'm a Registered Nurse by profession for the last 32 years, I work in surgery and was a USAF Flight Nurse for 8 years back in the late '80s and early '90s. Right now, I'm looking forward to retiring in a couple more years.
