I learned allot about SxS's from guys at my gun club. I've been pretty lucky (thanks to their help) in most of my purchases.

Only way to get over that "intimidation" is to get your feet wet a couple of times. You'll not get too far over your head on the lower grade Foxes...it's when you step up in Grades that you can quickly get burned.
