Shout out from Sacramento!

[mheideman]

Hey everyone. My name is Mike, and Im a 31 year old electrician with a big passion for guns. Ive been lurking around for several weeks, and finally decided to sign up. Im a bird hunter. Whether its duck, geese, turkey, pheasant, quail etc, if it flies, it dies. I currently own only 1 Smith. Its a SW1911 I bought in '05. Im a 1911 guy, and when I saw Smith & Wesson step into the 1911 market, I knew I had to have one! This is hands down one of my favorite 1911's. Ive never bought a revolver, but plan on getting a 686 within the next couple months. From what Ive seen, this is a great site with an overwhelming amount of knowledgeable people. I look forward to soaking up as much info as I can.

Mike, welcome from North Carolina. Good looking gun - I bought the Rail Model last year and I really like it. Shoots more accurately than I can.

Thanks. I plan on eventually getting one with the tactical rail for a flashlight attachment. As mentioned earlier, I have my sights set on a 686 6" wheel gun. They are an amazing looking and shooting revolver.

I live in Marysville, but since most outside the area dont know where that is geographicly, I list it as Sac Area. I currently work for Berg Electric building a 5 story hospital smack dab in the middle of San Quentin Prison.
