Believe me. I am a gun nut. This is just my first plastic handgun. I know the anatomy of every gun i own. I could probably break down and reassemble each one in pitch black darkness, under water, with a swift current.

PLMCRZY, if you do ccw, make sure you do heed the advice of these guys they just want you to be prepared that is all. And always have a contingency plan. I carry this kabar on my weak side behind my cell phone. If someone grabs you as you go for your weapon just slice and stab. Its made to punch with or slice deep. If they grab your arm as you go for your weapon just reach back pull the knife and hack at their wrist till they separate from you or you separate them from their hand! I always carry a streamlight pocket flashlight and extra mag when possible, too.

What the yall think i cant defend myself? Im not stupid, when it comes to defending myself. Best thing im going to do with my new gun is shoot shoot and shoot some more.

Btw bucket truck i carry a kershaw knife all the time! If i have to i wont even open it up, you can do just as much damage with the butt end to a skull with it closed.

Wasn't saying that plmcrazy. I have never met you, so I can't say that I think you don't.

Chill out man! We're not saying that you can't defend yourself. All we're trying to do is give you options and tips on making you BETTER at defending yourself.

BTW, I also always carry my Kershaw Rogue with me and usually have at least one other knife on me as well.

Ok guys, calm down a bit...

Also moving this out of the Badlands to the new sportsman section, so no more cussing. I think I cleaned all the old posts up.

ok, went and picked it up today. Let me tell you, the case is huge! You could use it to carry a fullsize laptop. Gun is beautiful, shipping was fast, and the extra mags came in today at home, also. I posted a pic showing its size compared to a fullsize 9mm(CZ-75BD) and a snub nose 38spl(Taurus 85UL). It has a grip feel like the CZ. It feels very natural in my hand when drawing and aiming. Feels well balanced when loaded with 13 rounds. I will not have a chance for a real range report for awhile. I shot it earlier today(27 rounds), shoots like a dream, trigger has a short reset, and a tad bit of creep. Still waiting on my TLR to ship but no big deal.

When we get back from the beach i will run her thru 100 rounds of Rem UMC. To get a better feel on her.

Well I finally got it all together. Range report was good, have now put 250+ rounds thru it. Trigger is much more comfortable to me now. I have not had any malfunctions yet. The only thing I can pick on it about is the mag catch. Its stiff but is getting better. Still waiting on my Supertuck to arrive.

I'm still searching for a holster to wear hunting that allows carry with light attached.
