Hello from Sydney Australia
Hi all,
Hello from Sydney Australia. I have recently purchased a 686 "Universal Champion" revolver. My first revolver and will be using it to shoot a match called Service Pistol. My first handgun was a S&W M&P9 Compact which was my daily carry pistol when I lived in Johannesburg South Africa. I joke with members at my local gun club that you don't have to worry about the targets shooting back at you in Australia...
Also shoot a CZ Shadow 2 for IPSC and a Morini air pistol for the 10m Olympic discipline. I'm a novice in all diciplines but am enjoying it which is the important thing.
Looking forward to contributing and learning from this forum.

Welcome from central Indiana. I also shoot a "blue" Shadow 2. You will find the CZ's can become addictive. I have 6 others that get used with great regularity.

The 686 is one heckuva gun. It will come in handy if you run into any of them Funnel Web Spiders!

Gidday, Dave! Was down your way about 13 years ago: Sydney, Coogee, Manly, short trip up to Katoomba by train and back. Hoping to get back and see more of the place one of these days.
Hope you're staying safe in the flood-fire-flood cycles!

G'day Mate! Welcome from Union County, New Jersey. Was a local Sydney-sider for a bit, and Melbourne too. Half the family are in Perth. Please, no Perth jokes :-). This forum is a great place to be. Get involved.
