Hello to all, I'm really glad I stumbled across this forum. I've been around guns/weapons for numerous years and finally decided to stop procrastinating at get one of my own which in turn; turned into two within two weeks.

The process here in Hawaii is truly "Gun Unfriendly", as I'm sure most of you already know. Anyway, I'm finally on the "down-side" of a ridiculous 14 day wait before I can pick up my  XDm .45acp 4.5" & XD S&W .40SC.

I hope to also see a change in the current Hawai laws pertaining to the ability to carry firearms, just today I lost a fellow Navy vet at the young age of 33 in Chicago due to someone shooting him point blank in the temple while trying to enter his home. I say that to say Chicago has some of the strictest laws in the country & if they're going to disarm their citizens then they need to do a better job of protecting them!

Aloha Ichi, welcome to the forum.  Your collection will expand, trust me

Hey everyone, I've been lurking for a while and realized its about time to introduce myself! I've already learned so much from this community, I hope I can contribute as well   

I'm really getting into building/customizing rifles, and currently waiting for my first reloading press to arrive. I look forward to seeing everyone out at the range!

Aloha Sigma! Welcome to the forum

I’m looking at retiring on Oahu after serving for 40 years in the Air Force. At my previous assignment I operated a Gunsmith business in Crestview, FL…PK Gunsmithing:  http://pk-gunsmithing.com/

Would like opinions as to how much of a demand there might be on the island for Gunsmith work? I have five years experience as a licensed Gunsmith in FL, and 40 years tactical weapons experience (Armorer) in the Air Force.

I'm a SOCOM trained (Navy CRANE) Joint Armorer and Sniper Rifle Armorer, as well as having attended Remington, Beretta, Colt, and Glock Armorer courses.

Specialties include 1911's, Rem 700 series, all Glocks, the M-4/AR-15 series, and all Remington Shotguns.

Shoot me an email at PKGunsmithing@yahoo.com if you have any advice.

Aloha from Big island. Finally signed up after lurking for a bit. I started a youtube channel a few days back and wanted to share some new gun stuff type videos. Channel name is the same as my username here. Enjoy!

BTW the reason Kona sport authority has none of the popular calibers is that an employee there also works at elite hunters and sets the ammo aside for himself and brings it over there to mark it up. So I buy my ammo elsewhere. I did send a complaint to the customer service at Sports Authority.
