I live in South Florida and I've been a gun owner for over 20 years and have several Rugers, and a Glock 30. I've been meaning to get an S&W but just didn't find THE ONE, until today. Just bought a new S&W 1911 and I looked up this forum to see what I can learn about making it better. I hope to learn as well as share in this forum. It looks like a great place!
