Default Hello from Alaska

Hey all,

New to the forums so I figured I'd introduce myself. As the title says, I'm from Alaska, moved here 8 months ago. Currently have a few Glocks, some long guns, mainly carry an M&P 9c as my EDC and just ordered my first revolver today. I went with the 442 as I figured it would be a great little gun to shoot and carry. I am former military, been shooting for a while, was an instructor for many years (mostly semi-auto handguns), and I work as a firefighter. I find it oddly embarrassing to admit that it has taken me this long to purchase a revolver, but I am moving forward and broadening my horizons. I hope to learn a bunch from you all and maybe add some worthwhile comments as well!

Welcome and congrats on your taste in guns.

Go to the top of the page and click "user CP".

Then, at the left,, click on "edit details" and you can add your military branch and firefighter badges to your status bar.

Again, welcome.

Welcome from Texas. I spent a year in Alaska in 69-70. The organization I was with furnished me with 3 hots, a cot and several uniforms, most the same color. Cheap beer and haircuts. And midnight mess was pretty good too. Something about a shingle comes to mind.

Welcome to the forum. Be careful with buying that revolver. You may find yourself in a manual shift vehicle some day.

Welcome from Texas. Lived in Alaska twice, for 15 years all together. Used to shoot at the Isaac Walton range in Chugiak.

I think it's now called the birchwood shooting range and if so, it't the range that I belong to! Small world. It's a great little range and it is only a 5 minute ride from my house which is nice.

Greetings from the Oregon Coast, from another former Alaskan! We'll be visiting Soldotna in June, and I can already picture myself wanting to stay.
