Default New to the Forum from Florida

Hello to all of you fellow gun addicts. I ve been lurking around for a while and found lots of useful info on this site. There are quite a few very knowledgeable folks here, and I look forward to learning from the wisdom available here.

I'm new to the site, but not to guns and shooting. I own a good assortment of weapons with my favorite makers being S&W, Ruger, Springfield Armory, Marlin, and Savage. Interestingly, I was living in New England and all of the above gun manufacturers were located within a 50 mile radius of my home. Kind of sad how this "cradle of gun making" now has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country.

I am an Air Force veteran of the Strategic Air Command and the Vietnam War, am an avid Motorcyclist that has managed to survive the public roads for about 54 years (cell phones notwithstanding), have been a Motor head all of my life, whether two, or four wheels, or boat. Most of all I am a family man blessed with a great wife of over 47 years and grandchildren that have me wrapped around their little cute fingers.

I am looking forward to learning a lot about the revolvers that I consider to be my favorite guns.
