    Hello - This is my first post.

    Everyone -

    I have been reading your site with great interest for at least six months or so. I decided to finally post up, and will try to join in where I can add something to a discussion.

    I live in southern orange county, and love handguns, all handguns. I have a special affinity though, for .357 revolvers and .45ACP of the 1911 variety.

    I am an ardent believer in the second amendment and the right of individual citizens to arm themselves. I am not a doomsday theorist, but I do believe that it is an intense individual responsibility to be prepared for anything that may come.

    I am saddened that our state has declined to the point where your "average" person thinks gun people are weird, strange, or somehow disturbed. I am however, hopeful for the future that there is a vibrant online community dedicated to firearms in california when the enthusiasts in the country seem happy to have forgotten we exist.

    Oh, and I can't stand the overly macho stand offish gun know it all commando type that tend to intimidate good people away from the hobby of shooting. Just a pet peeve of mine, and I imagine everyone here knows the kind of person I am talking about. I also dislike the snobs that think if it isn't a super tuned custom with an expert trigger job by so and so, then it isn't worth shooting.

    Anyway, enough rambling, thanks for taking the time to read!

      I just got a 6" Ruger 357 GP100. In over 30 years of owning revolvers, this is the SMALLEST revolver I've ever had. I started with 44 mags and later had a 454 Casull. This 357 is a nice little plinker

        Welcome.

        At the moment the pistol section in my safe has toys in .22, .357, .38, 9mm, .40 and 45ACP. I like them all, big or small.

                We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

                    Unfortunately, those overly macho standoffish gunners are everywhere including here.

                        Putogether, I would think after reading this site for 6 months you would have run away screaming. Anybody in their right mind would have.
                        So you chose to sign up anyway, eh?

                            The I'm from the internet thing has me literally laughing out loud.

                            I've never taken pictures of my guns before, I will have to give that a try.

                            Thanks for the welcome
