Randy,
Lay-A-Way?

Absolutely!

Lazi,
Unfortunately, no joy on that particular pack.

OK GREAT! I'll take everything you've got for $10.00 and then a dollar a month until it's paid.

WOOHOO, I just got a bargain!

No problem. Just for you interest is 10,000% compounded by the minute.

No interest on lay a way for anyone else.

Now wait a minute, even Donald Trump couldn't afford interest rates like that. THE DEALS OFF!

Maxped Pygmy Falcon 2 .... Randy told me about the current sale so I couldn’t pass up a $60 pack. I wanted a black one to go with my black fatboy.....also courtesy of Skunk.

Smith & Wesson Gen 1 Shield 9mm.

I sold all of my small handguns, and now that its 90F with 95% humidity I'm struggling with my larger handguns.

PSA had Shields on sale for $249 + tax + shipping. After tax, shipping and a $20 FFL transfer I have $305 in the gun.

It shoots, relatively, straight and is reliable. If I have to use it and it gets taken as evidence ... I'm not out a lot on it.

I carry a Shield 45 and love it. It’s taken the place of my Glock 19.

I have wondered about the Shield, but in .40 or .45 calibers. Thanks for your thoughts fellows.

I’ve shot the Shield 9 enough now to comment on it ...

GOOD

100% reliable
As accurate as any Glock I’ve used (includes dozens of them)
Points a little more naturally than a Glock
Feels better than my wife’s Glock 43

BAD

Not nearly as accurate as any Sig P-Series or Beretta 92 Series
Difficult to get fast splits (shot to shot)
Ergos suck compared to bigger guns
Rear sight is so sharp it wore thru my cover garment

SUMMARY

I paid $250 plus tax plus shipping plus transfer ($307 total). This a very reasonable price for a “disposable” (meaning I won’t cry if I have to use it and it ends up in an evidence locker) summer time CCW.

Just built a long range precision rifle in 6.5cm on a savage action with. Proof research stainless barrel and an XLR Envy chassis
Also ordered chamber gauges for .223 and 5.56

Bought AND received.

Maxped Jumbo, Foliage Green. When I first unboxed it I was sort of disappointed. I was so used to the Fat Boy but it was getting a little to small to comfortably carry all the stuff I now need to keep with me/us. The FB would carry it all, but it was stuffed, sort of like Tom after Pigging out at his Favorite BBQ joint. I got it yesterday, a day earlier than stated it would be here, a BIG surprise.

Well after transferring everything from the Fat Boy to the Jumbo, man have I got loads of room left over! Heck I even have a small oh about 2x3 inch container stuffed with 6 small plastic bags full of instant coffee and Splenda, plus I have an additional 6 or 8 splendas for just in case. AND I also now have one of those cooling towels in there for this summer, in case Patty gets to hot I can soak it in water and get her cooled down until we can get her under an A/C. (for those of you that might not know Patty does NOT sweat so she can overhear in 75 degree weather depending on what she might be doing).

Now after carrying it for a day, I am impressed. I can't really tell any difference (carrying feeling) than the FB. On big change is I swapped up the SCCY 9mm for my Ruger LCP with the integral red laser. And I am also carrying two spare mags now (each holds 7 rounds) for a total round count of 21. Same as if I was carrying the SCCY and 1 reload.

I have a couple more medical supplies I can carry now easily plus some additional meds we have to keep with us along with an epi pen for patty.

I am sure I will add to it as time goes on (I will be adding a 32oz water bottle for AT LEAST summer carry). After that we will see.

So far the verdict is two thumbs up. And only having to pay half price during their sale, makes it even better.
