Originally from Texas, currently marooned in Michigan (it's not that, folks!). First time S&W owner (Pro M1911 Compact) and absolutely floored with fit, finish, and function of my new pistol. I'm a long-time 1911 owner/shooter and can't count rounds put downrange (probably approaching six-figure range).
Always been pretty laid-back about guns (military background) and didn't really get all that involved. Now? Also first-time NRA member, first time concealed pistol permit holder, and also for the first time, pretty damned vocal and reactionary about the Constitution I swore many times to "defend and protect against all enemies, foreign and domestic". Never thought my biggest worry would the "domestic" part.
