Just a note to say Hi to all you members here at the Springfield forum.

I recently ordered a Springfield Armory 1911 Champion Operator Lightweight and am anxiously awaiting it's arrival. This is my first Springfield and it has been quite some time since I have spent any time with a firearm. Yes, I strayed but that is a story for another time. Suffice to say I have realized the error of my ways and am working hard to correct that.

Even though I have spent a LOT of time with a firearm in my hand, It has been a long enough period where I haven' t that I am approaching this new acquisition and my reintroduction to firearms as a brand new experience. I will seek instruction on the use, care and cleaning of my firearm. I will not rely on past experience to guide as I am sure my skills have faded considerably[FONT=&quot].

I look forward to participating and learning here at Springfield Forum.

I'll try not to bug you all with incessant questions.

Welcome aboard. Glad you found your way back home to the firearm world,something about firearms always bring strays home eventually.

Thanks, squirrelhunter. Love that avatar!

I went to my local dealer, filed the transfer paperwork and signed up as a member of the establishment. I now have range access, reduced pricing for ammo and range use.

So I decided to practice with a range supplied SR9. It had no dot on the front sight so acquiring the target with a black front site, a black target center and a black background resulted in a pathetic result. But...the more I shot the better I got so there's hope.

It's a good thing my soon-to-arrive SA has front dot!
