I'm near the Glenn exit, and moved out here in 1999. Looking forward to getting a CPL someday. I think the need is righteous. I look forward to info her on this site and others, as I have recently gotten back into shooting a pistol. I've shot since I was 8 years old, growing up on a ranch in NW Nebraska. Bought my first pistol, a Remington BP when I was 17. My cousin and I shot many rounds through our pistols, he had a Colt replica.
Next jump up was a Ruger Super Blackhawk when I was 18. Chambered in .44 mag, I handloaded and shot it for about a penny a shot. Used cast bullets, resized and would go though 500 to 1000 rounds a week. I got good enough to hit Jack Rabbits out to around 75 yards cosistently, and the longest was 128 yards on one occasion.
Shots tens of thousands (maybe more) of rounds through various Ruger .22 Autoloader pistols over the early years. What an accurate little pistol in 6" barrel. We would shoot beer caps out at 50 feet with those pistols.
When I was a Deputy in Nebraska, I started out carrying a S&W model 686, and then went to Ruger .45 DA pistol. Then, our department went to purchasing the firearms for the Deputies, and I was issued a Glock in 40 S&W. Got pretty good with it, but still liked the .45 better.
Now here in Michigan, after much water under the bridge. Shot may different pistols and revolver from .25 ACP all the way up to .45 LC with a variety inbetween. Only one I really didn't care for was a .38 Super I had, and a Stoger Luger .22 that I traded to Dick Cabela for a Ruger .22 back in the early 70's.
