New to handguns
Hello everyone! I am a new forum member from Minnesota. I have a new Smith & Wesson 67 on order from the local gun store and am getting very excited about picking it up in a few days! I am pretty new to handguns, but have past experience target shooting and hunting with many types of shotguns and rifles. I also own a Remington shotgun that I mainly use for target and trap shooting (but I am 'recovering' from a hiatus, so I have a lot of work to do to improve my skills).
I really like absorbing as much information as I can about my firearms, and enjoy the technical aspects too, so I am looking forward to all the learning I will experience here!

Welcome from RI. Lots to learn here, and much to absorb.
Many experts here on such topics as: a) Do I need another gun? b) How many is enough? 3)should I specialize in one type, or just buy some of each? 4) How to sneak a new one into the house? 5) what is better 4" or 6" ( neither buy one of each) 6) you don't have to be able to hit anything, but you must look good.
And of course other topics necessary topics wisdom for the beginner

Great, we were wondering when you would break down and get a handgun. 
I'm sure that you will have a good time
