Hi, I live in the Waco, Texas area, Navy Veteran, retired from the Post Office. Like to shoot but can't get out as much as I used to. Taking care of the wife, no more 2 or 3 day overnight hog hunting trips, try to get out Sat or Sun and go shooting at my brother in law's place or the range. I have a S&W M&P 9c and had been looking at one with a longer barrel for a truck gun, but let my former Navy Gunner's Mate buddy talk me into a Rock Island .45, haven't shot a .45 since I got out of the service and even then, once a year qualification, don't shoot yourself or somebody else, don't lose any bullets or parts overboard and hit the ocean, your qualified for another year of Petty Officer of the Watch and Nuclear Security Team. The eyes aren't as good as they used to be and I'm not as steady, but I'm working with what I got, plus I can join these Forums and read and work at getting better plus have something to get my mind off my wife's illness. So, thanks for letting me join
