Thanks for the warm welcome!
I was thinking the same thing and would like to get some instruction. Does anyone have one to recommend? I live near I-25 and Alameda. I'm in no hurry to get a gun but if one comes along then great otherwise it's money not spent which my mortgage would benefit from getting instead.Originally Posted by soldier-of-the-apocalypse
Ha! Yeah it'd hard to not know Scotty. His rig is ridiculously sweet.
Well if I can avoid getting a girlfriend for a while then all is good. Then again I need another expensive pastime like I need another hole in my wallet. Maybe I'll take up origami instead. Hard to see a way that folding paper could get expensive and a paper cut is a lot better then rolling off a cliff or shooting my selfWelcome and enjoy!

Nice rig Rhino! Welcome to the forum!!
the rhino seems to be a strange choice to me how come you have your heart set on that gun
Yeah, I understand. It's odd and expensive. One of my main concerns with getting a gun is finding one that I'll actually carry on a regular basis and also shoot regularly.
I really like the size of the S&W 640 but after seeing how punishing the gun is shooting .357 I didn't think I would actually want to go to the range very often. I figure if I'm not shooting it regularly then I won't feel comfortable carrying it either. One thing I considered is shooting .38 for the majority of practice and loading .357 for carry. I'd rather be able to shoot either without issue but what do you think about that idea?
I've also wondered for years why gun manufacturers didn't make a gun with a centered barrel to eliminate muzzle flip. So seeing someone take a crack at it is pretty cool. In some ways I want it to work because the concept is solid and IMHO is something that should have been developed a long time ago.
I do have to say I have some pretty big reservations based on the problems that some people have given regarding the inconsistent trigger pull and flat out trigger jam. My original intention is to go with a revolver because they are so reliable and easy to maintain. I had a stainless steel Ruger .22 with a bull barrel and it was fun to shoot but frequently would not fire. After sending it in for repair and still having the problem I ended up selling it to a friend. With some hindsight I think the problem might have been the way I was holding the gun. It could have been that I didn't hold it in away that allowed the action to cycle correctly. At any rate, I don't want a gun where that is an issue.
I'm not set on the Rhino by any means. I'm just so new to handguns that all the options are dizzying and I'm trying to be realistic with myself. I'm not a hard core shooter and probably won't be. So I want something that I'll actually shoot and carry. If that means paying a few bucks more then so be it.
BTW I appreciate you asking. I'd rather learn that I am making a mistake in thought rather than a mistake in action.
Welcome to the forum! You might want to try and find a range that rents guns and shoot a few differnt types to what you like best.
Welcome.
That's a good idea. I'm going to the Firing-Line on Friday to try out a SP101.
