Hi all, hello from Redmond. Originally from Indiana, moved to Seattle about a year and a half ago then just recently to Redmond.

Interested in just about everything, mainly just done casual handgun shooting and occasional trap shooting. Looking to trying some new things.

Have been wanting to take some carry training, drawing from the holster etc. Also interested in 22 rifles to learn some marksmanship and take a class or something. Any good recommendations for either near Redmond area?

For fun, and to test my photo posting abilities here's my first gun I ever bought.

welcome to WaGuns!

Have you looked into IDPA or USPSA (aka IPSC)
IDPA - International Defensive Pistol Association.
IDPA.com

USPA - United States Practical Shooting Association
USPSA.org



I would first recommend Action Shooting International (ASI). ASI-USA.org

Or even the local indoor ranges that offer action type shooting or steel plate type matches.

Thanks for the welcome!

Agreed, that mag release seemed weird at first but feels very natural once you get used to it.

I remember looking into IDPA a few years ago but never tried it, good idea. I'll look into ASI for sure.
