Another Tennessean
OK, first post. Hope I get it right.

Hello from Tennessee. I haven't been lurking but for a day or two. I saw a couple of threads regarding holsters that I wanted to get in on, so here I am.

As my handle implies, I am a (mostly) revolver guy. I realized that when I sold my Kahr and used the proceeds to buy a SP101 a few months ago that I was down to only one auto pistol; my reliable, tack driving CZ75B. I own handguns with an eye toward carrying, and I prefer the simplicity and reliability of a wheelgun over the long, fat, boxy slides of modern autos.

Love the SP101. Fits me like the proverbial glove, and throws 125 gr. magnums downrange with no pain to me.

Welcome to the Forum!

I too am a new, revolver convert, having picked up my SP101 today. I plan on taking it to the range this weekend for it's 1st test drive. Even with the new addition to the family, I still love my auto's; a S&W M&P 40, a Beretta PX4 9mm and a Kahr PM9.

Welcome from Bristow, OK. I also like the wheel guns,and have a few, but prefer to carry a semi-auto. I am such a poor shot, I need all the rounds I can get and hope I never have to use it. But, I am ready and will use it. That's why we carry.
