Thank you so much for the congratulations

I mailed the packet on June 6th, I think I received my PIN in late June.

I will be carrying:
Glock 23 with Tru-Glo Day/Night sights (Same gun I shoot IDPA with)
Galco OWB @ 3:00 (This is an extremely comfortable holster)
2 spare 13 round mags (overkill maybe but it will even the weight up a little)

I also have a Galco IWB holster but I don't know how I feel about it. It has a lot of forward cant to it and I want to try a vertical IWB holster as well.

I have also been saving up for a Kahr MK40, but lately I have been seriously considering a G27. I am still leaning more toward the MK40 but the 27 is tempting.

Some folks are put off by the really short-grip on the G27. It doesn't bother me, but you may want to try one for a bit.

I will carry a 33 (357 sig), its small, goes bang all the time, it has truglo's as well. I shoot Win Ranger Bonded in it (great ballistics through glass and car doors). Over 1K rounds through it and no ftf or fte.

For summer, I might carry my sig 232. It is about the same size as the 33, but hides a little easier IWB (smoother edges). It has night sights and crimson trace grips. I was shooting it out of the holster, and it is amazingly quick with the laser grips. I shoot rem golden sabres in it and have no doubt that a pair of those will stop someone.

All holsters are galco.

For IDPA/USPSA, well, I am a gamer.
