Hi...My name is Travis and Im obviously new to the forum.
Im a 38 year old family man with 4 kids and a great wife. Ive got three daughters and a son, and with the girls quickly approaching the age of "courting", I decided Id better start my "collection" to weed out the weak young men that come knocking.
...Im also looking forward to teaching the boy to shoot.
My first love was a .22 / 410 under/over that my father gave me as an 11 year old boy. Since then Ive owned a few other weapons... I "rented" a sweet M-16 named "Sally" from Uncle Sam for a while (still miss her!), a junky little .25, a Star 9mm, a Beretta 92FS, a Glock 19, a Bersa .380 and a Winchester Defender (full-on tactical)...Some were sold to pay the rent, some unfortunately, were stolen from me.
Im starting to slowly collect again and have acquired a Taurus PT-22 for the wife and a Mossberg 590 and a Sigma 9 for myself.
I REALLY dig the Sigma. I was amazed at how much more I like it than the Glock I owned.
...also, for about $300 less AND American made...total WIN/WIN
(I do miss the G19's 33 round clip, though!)
Im entertaining the opportunity to purchase a N.I.B. Bushmaster AR-15 w/ red dot for $675...wifey okay'd it, but Ive also got a 68 Impala to get back on the road...Decisions, decisions.
I have been in the military (short stint in the Army- "served" from 1993-94), an entrepreneur, a radio broadcaster, a Massage Therapist, Health Unit Coordinator and Certified Nurse Assistant. Currently, Im attending a Surgical Technology Program at Pensacola State College and will pursue 1st Assist after that.
So that's me, in a nutshell. I'm an enthusiast, but an aficionado by no means. Im looking forward to learning alot here...sorry in advance for any dumb q's that may post from my direction.
Thanks for reading, take care.
