Greetings All,
I guess you can say I'm a beginner when it comes to practical use of firearms for being in my late 30's, but I have always enjoyed learning about them all throughout my life. I'm an American History nerd (military, political, etc.), and am well read on the history of firearms, but recently decided that I wanted to become more educated with every day use in proper gun safety, range shooting/defense, and all the in's & out's that accompany them.
Always been drawn to the M&P series, and recently purchased the 40 cal 2.0. And to go old school, I have an older 9mm Taurus PT92 that shoots well, but is always funny to compare the weight between that and my M&P 40 whenever shooting at the range.
In the last 6 months I've purchased the M&P 15 Sport II Rifle that I recently saw for a good deal. I've had some fun learning about AR accessories, with recently installing a Holosun 510c holographic, a new CTR stock, & pistol grip. To say one can go down a rabbit hole on accessories is putting it mildly I've quickly learned, ha. I am looking at a MI free float hand guard, vertical grip, and backup iron sights to have put on, so it's always fun.
Look forward to learning more throughout this entire process, but as they say, better late than never at this stage of life.
Cheers!
