I lurked for several years before I joined. I've only met one, I gave him about
40 pounds of once fired brass. I hope he put it to good use. I finally realized
I would never reload, and I had already bought 20k rounds of new.
I don't have thousands of posts. Just curious.

Between 35 and 40.

I have corresponded privately with a few here, but I have never met any in person.

10 +/- I think

-tatortodd: Lives a few miles from me, been on a few rides [motorcycle]

-tigereye: Also lives near-ish. Done some archery

-jhe, jimbo jones [I think], george43: NRA forum dinner afterward convention back in around 2012[?]
Think I also met jljones in the convention at their booth, but only in passing.

-12131: Karma winner of the AR, works up the road at the airport

-V-tail [as wife], bigredfish, and a 3rd FL member [Artie?]: Was in town [FL] for a convention

-davetroung: Finally had time to get to Mimi's last time we were in LA

-raggedhole: Was working at a large gun store here in Houston

-NikonUser: Attended a 1k yd rifle match with him & bought a bipod from him as well

May be 1 or 2 more that I'm forgetting

A bunch.

I have met around 7-8 in person but my friend Chris in Australia has the honor of being the most memorable member I have met. He lives in an amazing country and kind of has an unfair advantage on the rest of our members. No one else has offered to take me to Bells Beach Australia and on a tour of the great ocean road.

I hope one day to be able to repay the kindness our fellow Sigforum member extended to me while I was exploring his beautiful country.



My friend in Fayetteville NC who sold me my first motorcycle comes in a DAMN CLOSE second place as far as most memorable members I have met.


I almost met RHINOWSO but he had already moved out of my town when I bought his P220 so I missed out on the pleasure of meeting that kind & cheerful lad.

Estimate around a dozen. Attended a Colorado Sig Forum shoot many years ago.

Only three, after all these years. I should try harder. Maybe a Northern Illinois/Southern Wisconsin get-together or shoot.

I had a list once somewhere. I met a fairly large group in the Longmont CO area around 2006 including LBJ.

5 or so.

Quality over quantity as they say

Just one.

Probably at least 2 dozen but unfortunately not Sigmonkey!

about a dozen. All at Bruce Gray's Gray Guns trainings just outside Seattle.

4 plus over a dozen at Bruce Gray's Gray Guns trainings just outside Houston

I also met many at a Sig shoot many years back. Also a few when I was flying all over the place. Great people!

In no particular order:

1- Jay Wendland - Won my very first SF Karma (a P6) several years ago. He was a car mechanic at the time. He seems to have disappeared from SF.

2- straightshooter1 - He and his lovely wife came to H-town a couple of years ago to visit his daughter. They invited me out to BBQ. We went window shopping at Collectors Firearms afterward. Nicest folks.

3- straightshooter01 - We communicated many times online. Finally met him, when he drove down from BigD for some pistol match and also to pick up a P225 I sold him.

4- sigmonkey - This monkey drove all the way from FL to pick up a guitar that he bought from some local guy that I picked up and held for him. He was going to try to arrange for either V-Tail or erj_pilot to fly it back for him, but that didn't work out. We had spaghetti dinner, and he drove back right after.

5- erj_pilot - Dropped by the clinic a few times to chit chat, on his way to flying or on the way back. My cheap Folger coffee isn't good enough for him. Lol.

6- kingfish007 - B/S/T with him numerous times. Always had something new to chat about.

7- TxRoadrunner - Won my LMT MRP Karma. Great lady. IIRC, she was a pastor at a local church and was doing God's work helping out the victims of hurricane Harvey.

8- P250UA5 - Won my Dissy AR Karma. Works just down the road from my clinic inside the airport.

9- smschulz - Sold him some HK pistol (HK USP Tactical, I think) many years ago at American Shooting Centers.

10- Didls - Sold him a couple of P228s on two separate occasions. I appreciated that he drove all the way from Big D. One time, we got carried away just shooting the breeze by his car. By the time we had finished, and I got back to my car, Mrs Q said I've been shooting the breeze for over an hour. Needless to say, she never accompanied me again on subsequent B/S/T adventures. Lol.

11- quantum13 - Also drove in from Big D a few times to buy my SIGs.

12- furlough - Also from DFW area. Met me half way and picked up PROTO-1 that was auctioned that he won last year.

13- TexasScrub - Drove all the way from Victoria and treated me to lunch. Felt like seeing a fiend I haven't seen in a long time.

14- ronbarn - Local guy whom I bought several P228s from, when I first started my collection.

15- There was another member, also from Big D, that I traded my Noveske AR for his Cogan Custom 1911 several years ago, that I can no longer recall his handle.

5. Missed meeting Para at Silencer/Machinegun shoots in NE GA I think.

I met several many relays ago at shoots we used to be in San Antonio as well as a shoot in Dallas and another in Weatherford.

Most are no longer here.

The last I met was Para in Duluth Ga.

Zero.

A few:

Artie-been a couple years though
V-Tail-been a few months but we text frequently
Dave-been to the shop a few times
Big Deal-he doesn’t seem active here anymore
Tango Sierra-he’s not active here anymore
Uncle Sandman-he’s not active here anymore
