I am a long time shooter/hunter. Not an expert by any means. I have several hand guns, including some black plastic ones, however my favorite is a COLT CCO Gunsite. I do prefer A 1911, and I am COLT fan. I am also a fan/follower of Jeff Cooper (R.I.P.) I have never been to the gunsite academy but hope to be able to take some training there someday. After A year of reading and saving up ($$$) I got my first AR/M4, back in sept. I am addicted. I am a member of M4c and Teaxsguntalk, I dont post much, I do read a lot. @ the time of this writing both of those sites are down. That is how i found this forum. At any rate, not sure how much ill be able to contribute but i will help out when i can. Oh the new AR? ..... COLT of course. I see some of the same user names here that i see on M4c, and i have to say that my choice for my first AR was made using a lot of info learned form the forums. I thank, those of you that spend your time and share your knowledge, here as well as there
