Hello...

[NorCal22Gal]

Hi Ladies,

I'm not much of a handgun shooter (yet).

I am an active Instructor/Shoot Boss with Project Appleseed up in NorCal (Sacramento, Redding areas). Yes I'm the one who posted the dates for upcoming 2020 events.

I've been shooting for about 12 years (my where has the time gone).

22calgal, it's great to see you on here!!! The CalGals from opposite ends of the state!!!

My husband got me started shooting with a .22 rifle all those years ago. He's great at helping me find the firearm that fits me.

Have fun learning. If you want to learn to be better with a rifle, come give Project Appleseed a try... appleseedinfo.org

I read the posts, not a dumb question at all, but questioning the quality of a gun in a thread where someone is selling it could dissuade other buyers.

Generally that is not done in the Marketplace.

My opinion FWIW.

Garv,

I am confused, are we being scolded?

~ 22calgal

Nope.

I know better than to even attempt something like that in this forum.

Just highlighting some things that relate to concerns/comments discussed above.

From the Marketplace Rules:

2) Buyers and Sellers assume any and all risks in any transaction.
(snip) CAVEAT EMPTOR applies here.

10) Thread-crapping.
Commenting on a post in a negative manner, called 'thread-crapping', is not allowed. (snip)

11) Discussion and Commentary in For Sale Threads is to be kept to a minimum.
Posting comments such as "Nice gun, wish you were closer", "That's a great deal", "good luck with sale", etc. should be strictly limited. This is a community and wanting to comment positively on a sale or item is an understandable desire. (snip)

Just trying to help.

sounds like I don't want to buy anything in the forums here then, if it's "buyer beware" eek

Hi Inked Poet!

Whoever sent you the message to you was a creep. How can anyone learn without asking questions?

Have you decided what to buy yet? If there is a range near you, you may want to go there and rent some guns before you buy. I can tell if I like a gun when I pick it up. If it feels right, then I am good to go. It's like trying on a pair of shoes, I want my firearm to feel good and be comfortable to handle!

Good luck, keep us posted.

A BIG +1 on Try Before You Buy.

Unless of course you want to buy a lot of guns...

So, renting at a range or finding a friend who likes hers and trying it are great ideas.

Now if only ranges "rented" the 10,000 holsters you can buy. Then I would not have that box of un-used holsters...

Welcome IP.

Your question would have been better to have been asked under "General Gun Discussions" rather than a thread where someone is trying to sell his gun.

But generally many of us cut the new folks some slack.

Hello Ladies...



No one has posted here in the last two months. Maybe that's good -- if we are assimilated and working all the non-gender-specific threads.



Either way, in those last two months, I hope your Thanksgiving and Christmas were fun, filling, and safe. Looking barely forward: Happy New Year!!!

The folding revolver. It folds up and has a carrier so that when it's in the carrier, it looks like a folding knife.

Have you ladies seen one of these pistols? I held one, fell in LOVE with it!
