Welcome, and really nice.
Welcome to the forum. Hope you enjoy it here.
S&W uses mostly (if not all) Wilson mags. Although from that picture they don't look the same as my mags (Wilson/S&W 1911).

Nice start on a "class collection". Enjoy them and watch the collection grow! 
Welcome to both of you (new members: reinbeau and 03roushs1). Hope you both enjoy it here.
No, Lynne (aka Mother Mod) is not the same Lynne that runs SAS. She is a SAS member (as am I, at least until my membership year runs out) but lives way North of Boston. Since I've known this Lynne for many, many years (going back to our days at DEC) I'll put in a plug for her . . . she and her Husband run Starfire Firearms Safety Training Center in Haverhill. More info on the GOAL trainers page: http://www.thegoalfoundation.org/certifiedinstructors.htm
I don't know if Lynne Roberts registered here or not (I did tell her about it and invite her as well as all other SAS members on their eList, before I was told that men weren't welcome at SAS), but if she did join, I don't think that she has been back since she registered AFAIK.
If you ladies (K-Dub and reinbeau) wish to post things about SAS here, please do so. Spreading the word, especially about Micheal's training sessions for SAS might interest some other women and help SAS as well.

My fellow class valedictorian?
Yeah, the other valedictorian. I know Len is here, but I'm not sure if anyone else is here & watching quietly. I confiscated the PPK from my old man, so I'll have it next time we meet.

Although I talked this forum up at the SAS Summer outing, with Lynne R. and posted info on it a few times to the SAS eList, I don't think that anyone else joined up (can't be sure unless they out themselves here [lol] ).

It'll be up to you ladies to talk up SAS here or tell others about opportunities that get posted here. The way things were handled does not make me comfortable posting anything to the SAS eList any more. Thus, I felt real uncomfortable when I accidentally sent the jacket post to the entire eList instead of you directly.
I am very glad that Lynne R. took Michael deBethencourt up on his offer of free training for SAS (she has ignored many other offers by other instructors-including Lynne {Mother Mod})!! Yes, he is a great instructor and just what SAS needed. He's the only reason (according to my Wife) why she'll endeavor to make the SAS training sessions (and stay a member) . . . at least as long as Michael is doing the training.
Take advantage of Michael, as lots of people pay serious money for his training (and he is well worth it).

Len, I'm thrilled to have Michael helping us, I'm hoping to get much more comfortable about self-defense, not just guns (then again, can you ever really be comfortable about self defense??)

Cool! I've been reading on the GlockTalk Walther forum about the PPK/s, most seem happy with them, although it seems very important to keep them clean - and polish things internally if you have jamming problems. I haven't had that problem yet, hopefully it'll stay that way! Good ammo is important too. I think I'm firing the cheap stuff through it right now.K-DUB said:My fellow class valedictorian?

Ann,
Read some of the training material in the Training Techniques forum here on self defense.
Also very highly recommended:
"The Combative Perspective: The Thinking Man's Guide to Self-Defense", by Gabe Suarez, Paladin Press, ISBN: 978-158160404-7
This book is all about mental attitude/mindset to be able to defend yourself.
