Thinking about a compact .45 for concealed carry

Joe817,

Thank you very much!!! I have been looking for a Queen like her for a long time. And not a safe queen at that. She goes where I go, well not work. Wish I could take her to work with me, but I like my job. One day I will work for my wife and I will get to CC from when I get up till I go to bed. Again, thank you for the kind words.

One day I will work for my wife

don't we married guys already do that anyway ?

[calvinbr]

Yes we do. Mine owned her own photography business. I hope to work with her soon. This way I can get out of the chemical plants.

Great business Calvin! Photography can be very lucrative. I hope it's soon, and don't blame you for wanting to migrate to a more friendly endeavor.

Anyone here shoot a Ruger P345? Any thoughts?

[JDL]

I use a Colt New Agent .45 from time to time. Very compact.

[calvinbr]

New agent is a good one also.

Spent some face time with the Springfield XD-45 4" today. As much time as you can have without shooting it.

I REALLY like it.

One I like even more is the S&W M&P .45. That sucker is niiiiiiice! :)

So what stopped you from buying? I've been following this thread closely as I'm in the same market, at the same point you are. My budget is a little more than yours but a $1000+ Kimber is definitely out. I drooled over many at the Market Hall show yesterday but didn't purchase.

What's stopping me from buying is A) just because my budget is a certain amount does not mean I actually have all that set aside already and B) I have not completely made up my mind what I want, and C) the boss has not given me permission to make the purchase, if you catch my drift... All I hear is "babe, we have a wedding to pay for" lol

here's my strategy....
go ahead and make the purchase .

then wait until shes in a good mood to spring it on her .
as this may take some time for just the right moment , try to come up with a good justification .

something like , "you know all those times you got your nails done ? , it cost no more than that "

Wadderyatrintodo? Get him put outside in the doghouse for 3 months?

Best thing is to go ahead and buy it...DO NOT let on that you have it for at least 3 months, then let her find out on her own. And when she acts surprised just tell her "oh honey, I've had that for such a long time. In fact it's been so long I really don't remember how far back I bought it." If that doesn't get you in the doghouse, counter back with USA1's suggestion.

that won't work for me .
my wife knows there's no way i'm going to have a gun laying around that long without ooogling over it .
