Grab a chair and sit a spell. Grass will need mowing before the plastic arrives.
How we conduct ourselves defines us. At the end of the day we answer to ourselves. At the end of our days we answer to God.

If you haven't already...

Now's the time to get a good holster/belt, spend time at the range, and start carryin' around the house to get used to it.

It'll help pass the time, and you'll be more prepared once the plastic arrives.

:cool:

Actually, I haven't purchased my carry gun yet. I own a hammerless .38, but it is only a five shot job. I doubt I'll use this for carry. When I finally decide on something, I will look for holster & stuff to match.

The Kahr 9mm looks good to me now.

Did you qualify with that .38? If you shot a revolver during your class you won't be able to carry an autoloader.

Yes, I know. I borrowed an XD to qualify for the shooting test.

Maybe you can use the .38 for a BUG?

Somehow I missed that logic... too hot to mow, not too hot to play golf?

Welcome to the wait!!
