Default Greetings from Tampa Bay (Pinellas side)

I thought I had posted my introduction previously, but since I can’t find that post, I decided to do it again.

I’m a retired pilot. Flew 2 tours in F-4’s in Viet Nam. My first combat squadron was with the Night Owls at Ubon, Thailand, thus my handle.

After the Air Force, flew large commercial aircraft (on the freight side of the airport). Instructed in the old DC-8, B757, and B747’s. After the FAA said I was probably senile due to hitting retirement age, I started consulting with domestic and international airlines setting up training programs and getting new airlines and aircraft certified.

I’ve had a Florida CWFL for almost 30 years. Usually carry a Sig P938 or a 238, and once in a while a S&W .38 snubbie revolver.

Glad to see so many familiar faces and old friends here. Thanks for allowing me to join.

Regards to All,

Owl

Welcome to the loony bin Owl!

Did Sig get the kinks out of the 938s yet? I was about to buy one, but that was back when they were still having a lot of complaints. Got a Sig Ultra Compact 1911 instead and haven't looked back.

Thanks for the welcome!

Dr. Henley,

I bought my 938 in late 2012 and I got a good one. I've had no serious problems with it ever.

There was a small glitch when I tried some JHP for the first time. I polished the feed ramp and have had no problem with any ammo since.

Great little gun and very easy to conceal. I love it.

Regards,

Owl
