Hello: Ok, thought I would just jump in and say hello. I retired from teaching 2 years ago (Technology Education 39 yrs), Vietnam Vet and I thought I would get back to the sport of guns. After much thought for myself and my wife (she wants to learn) I have narrowed this very large field down to a Ruger SR40C 40A Model #3476 for myself. Jury's still out on what to have for her gun. She is very petite with "child like hands". If I had a few hundred thousand <grin> I would love to have a wide variety of weapons. But, I need to learn and there is MUCH to learn.... so here I am looking to get educated.
