Northerner checking in
... from the land of snow, hockey, Molsen beer, and the most boring politics known to man: Canada. I've been in Texas for a little over a decade and finally got off my rear went out and got a 1911 for me, a 9 mm for the missus (so she'd stop using my nice 45), and I just finished the CHL course a few weeks ago. I mostly inhabit m1911.org, but have been lurking here for a week or so and I finally decided to take the plunge and get involved.
So... uhhh.... what else... uhhhh.... Oh yeah: hi.

Welcome to the forum markthenewf! You will not only gain knowledge and get information, you might even get a laugh or two! Some of these guys (not mentioning names!), make it a habit of getting us to roll on the floor, with their "funnies", not to mention some of the stories we get about, let's say - broken strings on short pants at Wal-Mart! 
Hooyah!

Re: Northerner checking in
Glad to have you aboard! I've got kinfolk down in Katy. Far enough out of Houston so that a little further to the west is a little more countryside. Keep an eye out for the jesters that hang around here....they'll sneak up on you..... 
Other than that, enjoy your time in here. Many different perspectives on many different topics. Ask, and you shall receive more information than you can imagine.....
