[SW_shooter]

I have two pistols within 5 feet of me and only one is loaded, break in and you'll find out which one.

I'm old enough to know better but young enough to still be learning.

I like S&Ws. I have wheelies and autos. One day I like one more than the other until I see a thread or picture about the other one and I think, "dang, I want one of those!"

I'm opinionated and a smart *** (sarcastic dude) but resonable and fair.

I'm a friend for life as long as you are too.

Got any guns you wanna sell?

 

[John Frederick Bell]

I ain't from nowhere and I don't know nuthin'.

And this ain't my name.

[Mike McLellan]

After an exciting career as a pie-eyed, pot-smokin', rock-n-roll trumpet player, I hitch-hiked to Alaska, got married, quit dopin', had kids, got a job as a prison guard. Advanced all the way, in 25 short years, to chief of security at the Fairbanks Correctional Center.
I'm retired, but still have a little job that helps pay for my bad habits.
Guns have been a big part of my life since I was a little kid, shootin' marbles out a Harpers' Ferry musket.

bad habits?

What are those plants in the background, Mike??!! And me, I'm shorter than I want to be and also louder. But, I'm German so I can pull it off most of the time. At least I got some size to me that causes people pause and consideration. I like what I like and am passsionate about it. If I don't have an interest in something, I couldn't explain to you how little care I would actually have on the particular subject. I'm 45 and have never been married and/or had kids, so my life has no more Bravo Sierra than I bring on myself. I love the women for sure, but can't find one that can put up with my ways. U asked......Here is my baby picture and I haven't changed much.........

[Dmaxboy08]

My names Jordan and im 23 years old. I live in Shelbyville, KY which is kinda a small town. I work at a Chrysler dealership as a tech. My main work is diesel repair and engine repair but I can(or try) to work on other parts of the car. Recently got married last march 24th. We havent gone bankrupt and she hasnt kicked me out yet so I say its going good. I live in the Knobs here in the county which sits about 1300ft above sea level. We live in a log cabin as well.
I love shooting, reloading, and of course guns. Im kinda a shy person, dont like to be in a large crowd and I hate being the center of attention(kinda like when the teacher calls you to the front of the room to give a speech). I grew up around guns. My first was a BB gun then around 9 my dad got me a single shot .22lr and it has gone from there.

 

[bettis1]

...we decided to pull up roots and move to a small town nestled in a hollow in the West Virginia mounains.
...only real problem we've run into here is that the locals apparently don't approve of interracial marriages.

I wouldn't sweat it, Snub. If'n folks are big inta interfamily marriage, ya gotta know that interracial couples are gonna be hard to warm up to.

[DeathGrip]

53 year old tradesman here. I just haven't figured out which one yet. I've been into water filtration for money for about 10 years but grew up around well water so it's easy for me.

I ran hard for most of my life and didn't get married until I was 43 but we've been together for 16 or 17.

No known children but.......

Guns? I've been into them since I can remember but I'm no expert. I've only begun to get the ones I want to keep. I guess I'm catching on.

I like Dogs

I don't like broccoli

I like broccoli threads

Join the NRA

Need more?

THAT"S from the late 1900's!

 

[luangtom]

I am LuangTom (UncleTom), a moniker given to me by my nieces on my wife's side of the tree. I am 61 y.o., retired after 32 years in mill-work and law-enforcement, about equally divided my time between them. Met my wife in SE Asia during the Vietnam Games and we have been married forty-years. We have two grown sons, 38 and 34. Older one is married and younger one is not. Both are schooled and working.

I grew up a military-brat and lived all-over. My wife and I resided in MN for 30-plus years and now live in GA, to be close to our sons. My other family-member is a Chi-Pin mix, Willie, that is my constant companion.

I have been a shooter since I was eight and a hand-gunner since I was 16. I ran the gamut of firearms likes and dislikes and now am strictly revolvers in my handgun choices. I am a NRA-certified instructor in four classifications and believe strongly in the 2nd Amendment, to the point of being called radical on it. Oh, well.....

 

[jframe]

My name is Mark, I'm 43 years old. I'm divorced for the past three years, but I have an absolutely wonderful girlfriend who tolerates not just me and my persnickety ways, but also my hobbies. Between firearms and my Mustang habit, I can't really afford any others. I've worked in the auto parts business for 25 years this July, and in a dealership for almost 19 years. I'm parts manager at a local Hyundai store now, after spending several years with Nissan, Toyota, and Ford stores. I was raised in one place in Northwest Alabama all of my life, except for my first year, where I was born and lived in Detroit. I love S&W's of ANY kind, and muscle cars of ALMOST any kind, but have partiality to Fords. No children, not even a dog, but we are happy.

[Old cop]

I'm 66, married to the same gal 45 years. Two grown kids and four grandkids. I served as a Navy Corpsman in Nam then LEO for 30 yrs. I had to use my weapon more than once in the line of duty as a cop and continue to carry either a Colt Cobra or 442 in retirement.

A physical handicap has slowed me down a bit but routine workouts help some. I shoot weekly and am active in our local retired police association.

 

[Terry C]

Hello, my name is Terry and I'm an alcoholic.

No that's not a joke, 54 years old last July and 20 years clean and sober last month. It's been a long rough road, but I had some wild times from what little I remember of it.

Been shooting since I was old enough to pull a trigger, had and lost several fine collections over the years (alcoholic/addicts don't keep stuff long). Now I have a small but diverse collection that covers most of my wants and needs, and of course that includes a few nice S&W revolvers (.38, .357, .44). In fact over half my handguns are revolvers, but there are a few autos too (some classic, some plastic).

Also evil black plastic intruments of mayhem, wood and steel relics of yesteryear, some weapons that defy description, and even some artillery. Yes, artillery.

By trade I'm a master fabricator. That means I'm the machinist, welder, mechanic, draftsman, electrician, plumber, architect, janitor, cook . . .

 

[beach elvis]

Sammy here.
Comin' to ya alive and well from the "boosh" of southeastern Ahia.

S&W enthusiast, catfisherman, and fan of most things firearms related but leaning far more toward the older concepts i.e., blued steel and walnut and handloading.

I'm only in my current occupation because I'm too stupid to quit.
Here's a rather sloppy example, performed(?) in Paris a few years back:
