Congrats. Guess you better move a P30 or P229 then, lol.

I haven’t sold a gun in 10 years. It’s like trying to sell guitars. I start looking at them and can’t stand to part with them.

I bought a stainless S&W 629 too.

I'm not big on 9mm "1911"s, but this looks interesting. The builder tool on the website is pretty cool too. Stupid ass name, but..

Wrong beer?

That does look painful. Where's that BFR?

My Wife almost brought a tear to my eye tonight. I casually mentioned I needed to order some more practice rounds of a certain quantity and she said “are you sure that’s enough?”. So I doubled the order. I love her.

She’s a keeper.

I've been putting Sam at SGAmmo's kids through law school lately.

I haven't busted any caps in a while..
Here's my HK P30SK with a 13 round mag. It's chubby, but feels like a fullsize in your hand.
The SK has the lightest double action pull between my P30L and HK45.

Their VP9 SK is a contender for carry for me. Also looking at Walther PDP-F for my delicate hands..lol

People that came up on striker fired guns will cry about DA pulls, but it's really no big deal.
You just learn the gun and that's it. You know the 1st pull is long and then the SA pulls are farther back.
I think Hammer Fires Guns are more interesting. I like the decocker on the back too..

I have the GrayGuns trigger kit and flat trigger in my P30L.

I found that most of the heavy pull on those guns when they are new is the dry Hammer Spring.. Lubricate that, and dry fire practice with some Snap Caps and it does loosen up. My Trigger Finger has muscles.. LOL

Nice, the brown truck just delivered what makes the brown pants..

Looking to pickup a handgun for camping and such something compact and light . Any recs ?

It might be in here, but what’d you end up getting?

Off to see your FFL?

 

[midnightlaundry]

HK45. Not the fastest or most capacity. Way to big to carry.
I think of it as a luxury Sedan with a Big Block and a smooth ride..

Nah, just got my ammo in. Just over $12 per 50 count 9mm FMJ. Glad prices are much more manageable.

Yeah, I just put the gray guns light spring kit in it and the flat trigger. I was going to put the short reset kit in too, but I don't think it needs it.

Next one is going to be an HK45 or USP45. Elite or Tactical.
