Finally introducing myself

[15Adam9]

Hello from northern Michigan! I’ve been a member of the forums for a short while now, but haven’t participated in too much discussion yet, as I’m mostly here to read and learn.

My S&W passion really started when my dad bought me a PD trade-in 4” heavy 10-8 for an academy graduation present a few years ago. Since then, I’ve added a 4” 66 (no dash), a 3” square butt 36-3, a 442-1 (for backup and off-duty), and a 459 (my only S&W semi-auto) to my collection. What works of art!

I’m from the younger generation of shooters (I’m 26), so most of my handgun experience centers around semi-autos…Glocks and Beretta M9s specifically. Every day though, it seems I become more of a revolver guy than anything else…just something about them is captivating. I’ve always appreciated S&W revolvers, but I’d say at this point I’m pretty obsessed.

I’m so glad that this forum exists…so much information and decades of knowledge here that I hope to learn from.

Welcome - it’s always a good thing when a younger person such as yourself appreciates revolvers, in my opinion.

And a Hound Dawg Howdy to you from SC!

You are in the right place. I've DOUBLED my firearms knowledge here. Before I joined I only knew 1% of everything there was to know about guns. Thirteen years later I know 2%.

I suppose realistically it was more like .01 to .02%, but it sounded better the way I wrote it.

Welcome aboard from coastal North Carolina.

15Adam9, I can understand your passion for S&W revolvers. I carried a model 15 and 19 on-duty for over 33 years.

Now, if you like the trigger on the S&W revolvers, then you'll have to try out the DAO Gen3 pistols - sweet.
