Greetings from Missouri!
I am new here although I posted once or twice before I saw there was a 'new member' area so I thought I would post here.
I am mostly new to firearms and I have found this forum to be very informative, intelligent and well done. I have already been advised about a technical/mechanical issue which resolved a problem I had with my gun.
I have an S&W 22a which I decided on as a good choice to develop my marksmanship skills and for learning gun maintenance. Inexpensive to own and operate! My decision to purchase a firearm I did not take lightly and I intend to become proficient using and maintaining it and have some fun doing it
. My main purpose is home defense and I intend on moving up in caliber eventually. Anyway, looking forward to expanding my gun knowledge reading the posts and I will chime in as well. Thanks, all.
