Average Age Of Forum Members

[Tom S.]

Mentally: 18
Physically: way past 65 (the last category on the poll).

Yes, my mind is constantly writing checks my body can't cash.

As for what I carry, Kimber 9mm in the winter, Kel-tec .380 in the summer, with a Colt 45 Officer's Model typically close by for back up.

I fall in the 56 year old age group and have had to start useing reading glasses but I only wear them when reading . This past week actually I happened to look at myself in the mirror for the first time while wearing those darned glasses up until then I thought I was aging pretty well .Turns out not so much.

 

[Shark Bait]

53, and high mileage physically. In winter i carry a Sig Sauer 1911, S&W 69, or a S&W 24-3. Summertime I drop a Glock 42 in my pocket.

. . . Be aware that your results will be skewed to the age of members that frequent the Forum and are not indicative of all membership.

As is the tenor of all the other thread responses in the Forum . . .

 

[URIT]

Have you noticed that most forms or polls that ask for your age put those of us 65+ in the "last box" or in this case circle?

At 71, I've been in the last box for a few years now. As time flies by I've become more aware of the negatives associated with being lumped in the "Last Box".

Just maybe, our opinions about issues change as we mature toward the century mark.

Looks like the forum is populated by a bunch of old farts.........I'm a junior old fart

 

[M29since14]

Also a "junior old fart." I don't know how I got so old so fast.

 

[wingriderz]

56. Going on 12

 

[MetalMan]

63 come January and have just gotten back into revolvers in the last 2 years.

This forum is an enabler to which I have become addicted - I've purchased 7 S&W's during this period - and hope never to be cured.

 

[chief38]

I'm an average 48.

The poll is asking the ages of members.
I'm sure tens of thousands of people every day read this forum

I meant to go to 85 but I miscounted

77 yrs. young D.O.B. 8-21-40 Thanks Bill

 

[Laketime]

I will be 56 in a few weeks, and have been buying Smith & Wesson revolvers since I was 21 yrs old.This brand has a special place in my heart regardless of being critical of them from time to time.This place is like a time machine to stroll down memory lane for me.

 

[Ranger17]

I'm another member at 55, but compared to many here I've only been shooting for about 5 years. Actually first found this forum as a source to try and locate .22 ammo when i was a beginner (that was a tough time to get into this hobby lol) but as my little collection grew to become SW heavy and i got more involved, I've found this it the one forum that i spend any time on and really enjoy it.

So in a way, guess I'm glad that finding .22 ammo the few years back wasn't easy or I may not be typing this now.

I'm hanging on to 55 as long as I can, therefore I chose the 50-55 cloumn. I always pocket carry a Seecamp .380 and when I carry IWB in addition, it's either a .327 LCR, a S&W Model 36 or a Sig P239 in .357sig.

 

[BigDog48]

In the upper age group, but can (and will) still kick butt if the situation requires it...just FYI.

 

[Cardboard_killer]

That is the future of guns in America. Not looking good. This is why elsewhere on a thread I said that the value of the S&W revolvers from the 50-80s will fall as the baby boomers die and their collections hit the market.

 

[1911 45]

I'm 53 & 3/4 my current carry HK P30SK.

 

[Wee Hooker]

..and this explains why it's such a civil place to hang out.

 

[rwsmith]

Could she call you....

That's a lot better than her thinking you are too old!

Could she call you her 'boy toy'?

 

[rwsmith]

People usually join.....

Most people are in the '39 and holding' club.

 

[sheepdawg]

I'll be 63 Sunday and carry a Shield 9mm in the winter and a Colt Cobra (older one) in the Summer.

This morning I feel 163 as I did quite a bit of yard work yesterday.

I'm 65. If I had known I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself.

My first handgun was a Smith & Wesson. I suspect my last one will be also, but my day to day carry gun is either a Ruger LCP or a LCR in 38. Leaning more and more toward the LCP these days.

EDC is a Ruger LCP for both me and my wife (77)
