Default Newbie Here

Just would like to be polite and say hello. My name is Ron and I am sure we have alot of the same interests. I'm not very computer savey as they say so if I do something wrong, fire away. I can take it. A little about me:
Married, retired due to a disability, one cat, one home, one Jeep, etc.
Passion for SW29's.
More a lurker than a poster.
Very active pro gun man.
Member NRA and ISRA

Well I guess that's enough for starters

Hello Ron and welcome the Model 29 is a very nice choice I have one that I love and a bunch of other S&W's. And remember that the 1911 rules the gun world

I like people that believe in gas guzzling class and guns!

I too was a lurker, for about a year or so

Morning and a thank you to all that welcomed me. This site has much more features than I am used to. I guess I'll just bounce around awhile and take a look. The 57 Chevy was a 1/4 mile project car we built back in 1968. Fiberglass tilt front end, I beam front axle, ALL the horses you could squeeze out of a small block back then. Somewhere around 485 hp if my memory serves me correctly. The motor was built by a race shop, "Weimer Machine". Had alot of fun but ran out of funds a few years later to continue racing.
