New to the forum, new to guns.

Stay away from Jesse T. He likes to shoot nude while he's airing out his goods.

Welcome to the forum. First bit of advice is come shoot a match with us asap. It will change the way you look at firearms, shooting and not having anything to do on the weekends. If you dont know what a match is domt worry neither did any of us at one time. I have a bunch of videos and so do other members on their YouTube pages. There is usually a link to the vids in our signatures.
Dont be shy on newbie questions. If it wasn't for stupid questions I wouldn't have half my post count and Wall would have zero posts!
Glad you found us!

Thanks, I will check out your videos when I get home, work blocks videos. After I get my handgun I will come shoot a match if i can get a weekend day off of work, sounds fun.
I think I'd probably still have 2 or 3

I would love to, but do not think I will have that much left, I am buying my first handgun on Thursday and after getting the ammo probably won't have much money left and it looks like I would need an extra mag (the gun I am looking at only includes 2) and a holster also. Plus I work that day and do not get off until 9PM. I will keep tabs on that thread to see about future classes, though, it seems like a great opportunity.
Edit: And it looks like i will have to wait 5 days after applying for the gun to actually purchase it according to Oklahoma laws...

Beretta U22 Neos, can't decide between 6 inch or 4.5 inch yet, though. Academy has the 4.5 inch for $229.99, they do not have the 6 inch listed on the web site i am going to call them tomorrow to see if they carry it, I cannot find them for this price anywhere else. Bass Pro has them for $259.99 and Sooner State Pawn has them for $217.99 plus $27.95 shipping charge.

Unless it's a concealed carry longer is usually better. Go with the 6" and cone shoot steel challenge with us next month at OKCGC on the 3rd Saturday.

Ok, the 6 inch it is. I put in for a vacation day for that day, i hope I get it off, sounds like a fun time.
Edit: I looked at the OKCGC web site, do I need to be a member to join you guys? Or is it a free weekend type of thing?
Edit 2: Never mind, i found the price for nonmembers, hope i get the day off!

Thanks! I will have one soon, paying for it Thursday we will see how long I have to wait for my background check...thanks for the ammo tip, I have been looking all over for what is good for it. Do you have a red dot on it?

Well this sucks. Academy carries the 4.5 inch for $229.99 but not the 6 inch version. Bass Pro has the 6 inch for $259.99. Just my luck, looks like I am going Pawn Shop hunting on Thursday, wish me luck. Looking into ammo types also, this is getting confusing, I want ammo, but don't want to get cheap stuff that will misfire or get stuck in the gun.
