New Folks Check In and Say Hi #4

Hello everyone! My name is Stephen, some people call me Big Steve. I work promotions for a radio station in Boston. I'm waiting to get finger printed and photo'd for my LTC out of my home town West Bridgewater. My first fire arm WILL be a Sig P220, then I'll work on getting a M4 type rifle. If you have any suggestions please speak out.
 
Hello Stephen,

Glad to see you in green post #1 :)
Good luck with your LTC process. I already like what your thinking of buying.

Enjoy the site and join in the discussions.

Stephen, welcome to the forum! You will be very happy with the Sig P220. It's a bit on the heavy side and large, but very slim. You can easily carry it with a Cross Breed Holster Supertuck. I've been using mine for about a month (after numerous others) and will never use anything else. Best to also get some kind of a good gun belt. Cross Breed makes a good belt that doesn't look like a "duty belt". Enjoy!

They're ugly as all hell, but it doesn't matter because it's on the inside. The first time someone showed it to me, I was saying "what is that thing!". The funny thing is that the ugliness is what makes it so comfortable.

One thing you may want to think about (if you get the holster) is getting the combat cut. Without it you can't get a good high grip on the handle. Some people don't care because they can easily slip it up. I personally didn't care for not having a high grip right in the holster.
 
Hey everyone! Been lurking for almost a year now and finally went green. The site is a great resource for information and entertainment!
 
Hi everyone,

I live in Boston and I got my LTC a couple of moths ago. I am glad to see a new bill is under discussion at the State House…I hope legislators understand there is a need for a reform in MA guns law.
 
Hello Toqui,

Glad you found the board and are actively watching the bills going through the State House. We need as many good guys as we can get working with us to reform these laws.
Enjoy!
 
Hello all,

I have been lurking here for a while, and made a few comments here and there but figured it would be more polite to post here though, finally.

I have been participating in the sport since I was six, but only really got into it about a year and a half ago when I started doing USPSA. A relative directed me to NES. I am a graduate student in my non-sporting life.

Thank you to all who make this forum run smoothly.

Hello 47stages,

As the thread title requests, I'm new to the forums so I'm saying hello. I live in the Burlington area and am about to schedule my MA safety class so I can get my FID. I shoot on a decently regular basis with a friend at MRA. I'm currently doing my research into a carry weapon, struggling between a compact 1911-frame .45 or a compact .40. Any recommendations are welcome ... I'm hesitant to start a thread on it as I'm fairly certain there have been numerous similar discussions previously.

How do you like the MRA?
 
Hello Moose508 and jbos6

Welcome to the forum guys. As Dwarven1 had suggested type away and get into the discussions. Use the search function if you think the topic may have already been discussed to see whats already been reviewed here.
 
Hello from Maine. Always nice to find people who share an interest. I'm just getting back into guns and hunting after laying off for a few years so I have some catching up to do. The main thing I need to know at this time is where do you get primers these days?

I've been there a number of times as a guest of one of the members. Facility always seems very nice (have been on the indoor and outdoor pistol ranges, can't remember their names). Other members are always very friendly, willing to chat and let you put a few rounds through their guns. I've fired all manner of rifles and pistols there! (Should admit it's only the second range I've been to, so I don't have a lot to compare to.)

If you are going to carry you need an LTC-A with no restrictions not an FID.[wink]
