Hello everyone, Tim here.

I've been reading the site for about a month now and finally decided to introduce myself, I'm hooked!

36
Purchasing Agent/ currently completing my bachelors in computer engineering tech.
CHL- already applied w/ the state, I take my class this Sunday and next weekend I have my finger printing session.

My carry gun will be a Ruger SR9C, with either a Mr. Softie or a Little Foxx holster.

As a kid I shot briefly but growing up I got out of it through the years. My enthusiasm with firearms abruptly rekindled over the summer when my mother passed and I received my grandfathers old "new model" Ruger Blackhawk .357 6-1/2" barrel. Once I had the revolver in my hand it was love at first touch, instantly I wanted at least one firearm of every caliber, I haven't been that excited since I was a kid. In the past months I've watched endless youtube videos and I check the forums every day. I'm also hooked on checking tgt/armslist/gun broker to see what's for sale (don't want to miss a great deal) and constantly watching the fluctuation of ammo prices. It is almost as if Pandora's box was opened but nevertheless I'm loving every minute of it.

I've taken the SR9C to the range about 3 times within the last two weeks and I need to figure out how to shoot more. With today's 9mm prices it's hard to afford to shoot as much as I want to, so I am beginning to look into reloading. I want to shoot everyday but cannot afford to...I just have to hold out for about 5 months until the car is paid off and I will have more expendable income, can't wait!

And thank you everyone for all the advice and tips!
