Well, I was walking by my neighbors house a couple of weeks ago and there he was at his garage workbench. I stopped and asked him "whatcha doin'". He said he was doing some "handloading". He started showing me what he was doing and he proceeded to tell me how much fun he had with his handgun and doing his own handloading. I had not done any handgun shooting and was intrigued by his enthusiasm and knowledge.
Suffice it to say, it is now two weeks later and I have taken a basic handgun course (last weekend), am scheduled for a Concealed Carry course tomorrow, have shot a rented revolver at a range every day for the last week, have gone to a gun show in Phoenix and Tucson, and just purchased a new Taurus model 627 (Tracker), 4 inch barrel, stainless, .357. I have rented a 10 shot .22 revolver and a Smith model 620 to practice with .38 special ammo. I pick the Tracker up Monday and am really looking forward to it. I'm hoping to start with .38 ammo and work my way up to doing my own handloading on the .357 end of the spectrum.
I'm having a wonderful time with a new hobby. I don't expect to do anything except range shooting. I think this is going to be like opening a fresh bag of pretzels and seeing if you can just eat one. BTW, I am a retired old geezer so time is not the issue, money is.
