New guy continuing the tradition
New guy to the forum looking forward to learning from everyone here. I learned how to shoot on my dad's old 686 (that my grandfather borrowed from him to qualify and then carry while on the Florida Highway Patrol), and to me it just feels right as a gun - I've never been a fan of semi autos.
So when it came time for me to purchase my first gun for home defense, I bought (of course) my very own 686.
I'm currently in the market for a carry gun, and after looking around for a while have settled on a 638. As soon as my permit comes in, I'll be carrying regularly. For situations that my 638 will be too big to carry, I'm picking up a NAA 22 Mag (my dad currently carries one in his pocket everywhere).
I probably have a dozen questions already about carrying but I'll spend some time searching the forum before I start posting.
Nice to meet everyone!

Howdy from South Carolina, and welcome to the forum.
An intro with pictures, good start.
The 4" 686P was my first handgun also, and is eerily accurate.
