Hello all,

I had been lurking in the shadows for a bit, reading up on forums but never joining until today. What changed? I won a bid on a S&w 457 on GB. This will be my second S&W pistol, already own a shield and love that thing. I'm really excited about the 457. Back while I was in the Marines I bought a brand new one towards the end when they stopped producing them and I loved everything about it. When I got out of the Marines considering I was coming back to this terrible state I off loaded it not knowing how long it would take to get a permit. Fast forward to 9 years later and I'm finally rectifying that mistake. The 457 was a great pistol, handled the 45 well, ran everything I fed it and was more accurate than I could be with it. Looking forward to finally getting it in and posting some pictures and a range report after I take her out for a spin. I'll also definitely be utilizing the wealth of information on here to help me with things like holsters and such. A little more about me since this is an introduction, I'm a former Marine, current National Guard Soldier (yes I know, I'm a traitor) and a full time police officer. A little bit of a gun buff, just wish I had the money to buy more lol but you know, mortgage and kids. I guess my affinity for occupations where I get to shoot a lot (I get to shoot a lot more being part of my department's SWAT team) and my love of guns go hand in hand. Thanks for taking the time out to read my post everyone. Merica.
