Plastic in HAND!

#1

Post by ShaneHD »

After checking at least 20 times a day everyday since the 13th, I woke up this morning to a new green section. Background check COMPLETED!

Looks like I should be a week or two away from having it in my hand. Hopefully a lot less than that as I just bought my LC9 yesterday!

Congratulations on the progress AND the new gun!!!! Hopefully, things will move quickly now. In the meantime, get some good range time in with that new gun and keep reading the forum!

I have two Sig Sauers as well (p250 and p250c). Plan to carry the LC9, have the P250 in my truck console and the P250c will be in my drawer next to my bed. Overkill? Maybe...

Why do I do all of this? Because WE CAN!

I'm not sure if there is such a thing as too many handguns. I look at it like shoes - you have track shoes, golf shoes, hiking boots, deck shoes, etc., etc. One shoe type is not optimum for all activities just like handguns. Our SR40 usually lives at the night stand, I like to carry the M&P, wife likes to carry the little Sig. Sometimes I'll carry the Sig depending on clothing. I would love to add an LCP pocket gun for when you want to stick something in your front or rear pocket.

Carrying now is like having my billfold in the back pocket - it's supposed to be there :thumbs2: .
