Welcome and congrats on the green thing

Welcome to NES JD11
Just saw this new person thread. Name is Mike, originally from PA but been in MA for about 7 years, have an unrestricted class A issued by Cambridge (!) and it was easier to get than I expected. Been googling a lot the past few years and always seemed to land here so I decided to join. I'm mostly a pistol guy, but it won't be long until my friends get me into rifles and shotguns, I'm resisting for now solely for financial reasons. My good friend and I belong to MRA, you can always find us being nice guys by offering to sweep your brass for you (unless you want to keep it of course) then we reload it in our basement. We constantly talk about our "next gun" (we both seem to have 30 "next guns") while we watch our wives roll their eyes. I carry a Kahr K9 in a remora iwb holster (that nice pretty girl on youtube really convinced me you can have a sticky iwb without any issues and I now agree!) and I love the Kahr trigger...I know the trigger is long and not popular with those who prefer some tension at the end, but for me it works well with the whole "let it surprise you" thing. I appreciate precision engineering and think Sig makes some of the finest pistols out there. My 226 combat is my baby. Trying to get my old man to give up his fathers .38 colt service pistol, which I'm told had those same precision engineering characteristics of its day, guess it runs in the family. My other passion is flying airplanes, and I'm looking for a nice grass landing strip in VT where I can take some friends, a few dogs, and combine my love for flying with shooting some guns in the woods. Hell, if you have a big back yard I'll take it! I also tend to talk too much so on that note, I'll stop typing. -Mike

Hi,
My name is Robin, Rob for short. I live just south of the lakes region in NH, i was reffered over here by a co worker named Dennis at GE. My fire arms experience is in the marksman area, that's how i've ranked at the IDPA shoots that i've done, i do my own reloading for handgun ammo and i'm working towards doing it for rifle as well.

Hello Curt,
Another nice town to live in. Love Portsmouth. YEs there are plenty of shooters and it takes a good forum like this to connect so many together. Of course a good club has the same feel but not the same reach. Glad you joined us here.

I have been an MRA member for a year and a half or so. I don't get to the range nearly as much as I'd like to - my main excuses being my two young kids and the price of ammo. I was in the .22 pistol league last year which was fun, but I wasn't that good, and I just dont have the time this year. Were you able to make it to the fun shoot today? I had a blast last year, but couldn't make it this year.
Oops, I meant to reply with quote to Dirtypacman, but I hit the wrong button.![[thinking]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/010.gif "Thinking [thinking]")
I am a member at Mass Rifle Association as well although inactive I think I have shot there 4-5 times now. Just so close to my work I had to join and that reminds me I have to pay the years due by Dec. Anyhow maybe we can shoot some time we both could use the practice haha

Awesome to have you here Rob. I love when other members send a friend over. Sounds like you have some experience too which is always good. Enjoy
Just wanted to check in and say hi since I just went green last week. I’m Bill and living in Cambridge. I got my license about a year or so ago after re-connecting with an old friend who is an instructor. As another post stated it seems like all searches end at NES, so here I am. There is a great amount of knowledge and humor which I enjoy both of.

Hello jhagen,
I too am very happy this site exists thanks for going green in support.
Hi, I'm Kristopher. I'm originally from Tennessee, but am now living on the north shore. I grew up with guns and did a ton of competitive shooting in my teens and 20's. I moved up here about eight years ago and am starting to get back into shooting. My wife and I are in the process of joining the cape Ann sportsmans club in Gloucester.

howdy! I live in the foothills of the adirondacks in NY. I only shoot long guns and I love shotguns, milsurp C&R's and all types of muzzle loaders. I am working on getting a .58 caliber Enfield Caplock replica (made by Parker Hale). I was looking for info on my Mossberg on google and here I am, decided to join the community.

Thanks, looks like a great site.
Another good American. Paul has come along way as a 2A supporter and is very active politically. I have been trying to get him on here for a while. I think he'll fit right in.
