Hi a.p. welcome to the forum! Glad to have you with us and look forward to your future posts.
How do you like that PX4 Storm sub-compact? It sure is a neat looking pistol.

Ahhh, we DO expect a full range report by Monday evening, don't you know. It's in the rules------->
(well we don't expect it but it sure would be nice to be able to brag about it) Pics would be nice too!

Carry guns/equipment: I'm only familiar with the weapons and calibers I used in the Military and am currently trying to educate myself on all the different types/usages of these civilian brands. That said, I own .45 pistols because I like them and am comfortable with them. I have 5.56 Rifle too. And other stuff, but we don't need to discuss that them.
Excellent website, I'm learning a lot.

Re: Introduce yourself
Hi Uncle Bob, welcome to the forum! There's a wealth of information here right at your fingertips regarding CHL and guns in general, and a wonderful bunch of people to get to know.
And I KNOW there will be alllll sorts of people chiming in with recommendations on different carry pieces!
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask. That's how we learn.

Re: Introduce yourself
Well, hello ya'll! How'd I miss this forum for so long? There's some good reading here!
My stats:
Age: 44
I work on generators for a living; been doing so for 16 years now. I love it!
Married with a pair of beautiful girls; 3 & 9.
I've had my CHL for a few years now & feel rather nekkid without a weight on my right hip.
Usually, the weight is a Kahr PM9 w/ Ranger ammo. But sometimes the Beretta 92F Compact.
A few others get rotated in from time to time.
Interests: Anything outdoors. From sitting out by the fire pit to blasting 100 miles offshore to chase big Tuna.
Every once in a while, I'll get a chance to go hunting and camping. Time is so short!
Glad to be here!

Hi SHavis & texjames! Welcome to the forum and glad to have you with us!
I think you'll find this to be the best forum on the internet. Very civilized and conducive to learning, meeting new friends, and having a laugh or 2.
What part of this great State do you all hail from?
Sorry texjames, West Texas don't count because it's bigger than most states!
[I know. It's not true, but it sure sounds good doesn't it? ]

Re: Introduce yourself
I forgot a valuable piece of info! I'm here near the Gulf Coast near Alvin(south of Houston). Near enough to PSC that, on a quiet day, I can hear when the range is hot. One of these days I'll make my way over there.joe817 wrote:Hi SHavis & texjames! Welcome to the forum and glad to have you with us!
