Default TFF/Firearm Newbie
Hello everybody, I am new to the forum and I am a new gun owner. I grew up shooting and had guns in the home throughout childhood, but I never purchased one for myself as an adult. Times have changed and I am now the proud owner of a Bersa Thunder .380. I look forward to learning all I can and welcome any and all input from the experienced.
