Default How you doing? Chicagoland

Born and raised in Chi-Town now living in Chicagoland. Bought my first handgun S&W Shield EZ 9 and love it. Lots of good info posted on this forum; glad to be part of it.

Welcome to the forum!

You’ll find this group to be a happy bunch of enablers ready, willing and able to feed your S&W “habit”….your collection of S&W’s will tend to proliferate as a result of your participation here. (Mine certainly has!!)

Enjoy the ride!

Welcome. I grew up in Chicagoland but escaped to down state.
Lots of good food up there. People in St. Louis don't know what good pizza is. Or a hot dog for that matter.

Welcome to the forum from North Carolina and congrats on the Shield 9 EZ. You'll find a bunch of knowledgeable folks on this forum. I used to visit my daughter up your way when she lived in Northbrook.

Hello from Pittsburgh, and the origin of Mike Ditka from a couple miles from where I grew up. You're welcome! I don't live in that County anymore, but they still worship him!
