Hello from South Minneapolis

I just accidentally discovered these forums while looking up something, so I thought I'd come in and check it out and say hello!

I'm 43, born and raised in MN and have lived here a majority of my life. I learned to shoot .22 rifles at YMCA camp and also had a few different bb and pellet guns growing up. When I was 21 and living in AZ, I bought my first gun, a Ruger Blackhawk .357 Magnum. After that I bought a LLama 9mm and a Davis .380 ACP. Aside from the guns I owned, I also test fired numerous other handguns when I'd visit a local gun store down in Phoenix. Over the years life kind of took over and I went shooting less and less. I sold the Ruger, the Llama, kept the Davis (for some reason!), but would eventually go to a range less and less. Up until earlier this year, when decided to rekindle my interest in firearms, and purchased my Kahr CW45, I had not fired any weapon since July of 1997. So in my mind, I'm still very new to firearms and shooting.

I really like my Kahr CW45. It wasn't too expensive. I think it shoots great. And it seems very reliable. I briefly had a Diamond Back .380, but it was junk, so I got rid of that. I then picked up a Smith and Wesson Bodyguard .380. It shoots fine and seems both reliable and accurate. The laser and trigger pull leave a bit to be desired for me though. But that's my story so far. I'm looking forward to learning from the group and hopefully have something to offer as well!

Welcome aboard from the right side of the river oh crap, I just moved to the south metro. Guess I can't say that any more.

Good to see another CW45 owner join up. I've found they do get lonely. Much happier keeping company with Grandpa 1911 and big bro M&P45. Welcome aboard.

Welcome.
I lived in So. Mpls. for many years. I miss it, but not very much.
Diamondbacks are pretty much awesome if they are made by Colt.
