new guy from California

[wbunning]

I'm retired from teaching high school, with a bit of law enforcement, fire fighting and a few other things thrown in for fun. I'm a recreational shooter these days, taking a lot of fun from casting and reloading. I shoot mostly handgun calibers but do own a few rifles, including two Big Boys (357 and 45 Colt) and a side-gate 38-55 on the way.

I also hike, do a lot of touring on my BMW motorcycles and head up a large local paddling group.

I found the forum while trying to get some intel on the new side-gates.

Welcome to the forum from KC! You've got a couple of very popular calibers there, and the side-gate has many abuzz as well! Please keep us posted on how you find it to be!
Happy you're here!

Welcome from another Ca. shooter. I have your two BB rifles also; BB brass in .357 and BB steel in .45 Colt. Glad to have you here. Bet you'll really like that .38-55. Welcome aboard!
