I hope this is the correct way to do this as I am new to posting in any forum much less this one. I am a long time resident of the state of Tennessee and am a retired nuclear power instrument tech.  I am partially disabled and I don't get out much except for doctor visits, grocery shopping, and to go to the range and shoot my FN handgun.  I have been interested in firearms since I was child and have owned many types of firearms.  My main interest now is handguns and I thought it would be fun to join a forum.

Welcome to TGO. We need to start you a new thread, I'll flag it...

[Rick Shultz]

I'm sorry but I don't know how to do that. I'm completely new to posting in a forum. I have never done it before. Please forgive me if I did something wrong.

No worries, and welcome to TGO!

Howdy and Welcome to TGO!!!

[Rick Shultz]

Thank you all for the welcome.  I think I might LIKE doing this.  I'm new to it, but not new to shooting. I've owned guns for most of the 68 years I've been on this planet and shooting is the most fun you can have with your pants ON. :=)

Welcome. 

You don’t glow in the dark do you? 

[Rick Shultz]

 

Noooo...I don't glow in the dark, but it's not for lack of trying.  I worked in TVA's nuclear power program for 6 years, so I got my share of exposure to ionizing radiation.  I don't recommend it as a replacement for a good rail mounted flashlight. :=) Speaking of which does anybody know where I can buy a GOOD green laser sight to go on a Piccatinny rail?  I've talked to more gun shops today than I have in a whole year and NOBODY has got one for less than a hundred and fifty dollars!  I live on social security and I can't pay that much for a laser sight. Is there an online dealer that sells one for a DECENT price?

I'd check here at Optics Planet and then check cost at Amazon. One of those two will usually be the lowest. 

Does it have to be green? Green will cost more.
