Default FNG from Temecula

Newb checking in.
I'm somewhat new to guns, but I think I'm hooked.
I've handled/ shot various guns (G17, XD40 9mm, a couple shotguns) over the past few years but more recently wanted my own.
Just picked up my first pistol. It's a Beretta 92FS M9A1.



I took it out yesterday and had a blast hitting targets at 10-15 yards.

I'm now looking into building an AR15.

Just here to read, learn and hopefully contribute later on.

Thanks for the welcome, guys!

RJ, I'm pretty happy with the way everything went when I bought the Beretta.
I was going to get a G17. But, they were out of them and they couldn't tell me when they'd get more in. I considered the XD but liked the sexiness of the 92 more.
I'm taking my pops to Iron Sights next weekend.

I went with the M9, so the lady is less comfortable holding it...

I love Beretta 92 series!

Is the M9A1 an aluminum lower receiver, or plastic?

WELCOME!

Welcome aboard! Be careful about building the AR, it gets addicting!

WELCOME!
It's certainly not plastic/ polymer.

Thank you!
It will be my first build. I've got a good friend that's built a couple that I'm going to have help assemble mine when it's all ready.
Wanting to go .308 for badassness, but it seems it starts getting a whole lot more expensive when you move up from the .223.


Thanks for the warm welcome guys!
