Default Hello from Orlando!

Hello fellow pistoleros!

After getting seriously tired of the bull$h!t from some "other forum" that shall not be mentioned, joe suggested I signed up and participate in this fine forum. I contacted Mike (riverusmc), so here we are. I know a great deal of members in here already, having met quite a few in person.

A little bit about me. I've been a dedicated gun scholar for the past 5 years, and a college professor for over 12 yrs. Naturally I saw the need to combine both interest so I recently started a side biz as a pistol instructor focused on instinctive/reactive point shooting.

I enjoy discussing everything firearms and look forward to learn more about the mighty fine 1911 platform. I don't own a 1911 but they are such an iconic firearm that helped shape the freedoms we currently enjoy, and needless to say some are just a work of art, that I look forward to the day I own one.

I need to do research as I want my first to be an entry level one, one I can tinker with without fearing screwing a $2,500+ gun in the process.

Thank you and look forward to interacting and learning from all of you.

Happy New Year.

Pedro (pitor)

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

I know. With wife's radiation treatment here in Jax, life's been a little hectic. Glad to be here though.

Thx. I didn't mean to make Mike look insensitive, so if it came across as such I apologize. We're doing good, moving through this process. I will keep you all updated. We have a great place to stay and have our great Dane puppies with us. Life is good
