I do the same. I also say "Because I am licensed by the state to do so."

No idea Ryan but RRA has a lower for $109 which seems like a good deal. Not sure where I'm going with this but it will take some time to save up the money for the lower and upper.

Kinda serious question kinda humorous.

While concealed carrying and you have to visit the porcelain god in a public place what do you do with your IWB carry? I know if I looked over to examine my "neighbors" shoes and I see a gold plated desert eagle I may be inclined to tell the mgmt.

I don't IWB carry much as I usually pocket carry. If I am IWB carrying, I will just keep my pants pulled up higher around my knees instead of letting them go all the way to the ground.

Makes sense to me.

I just shake my head and wonder how far this will go before we actually start blaming criminals for problems instead of regulating law abiding citizens. This does nothing to decrease crime, just a foot in the door. I sent my email to the Guvinator a week or so ago, with thousands of others. What an amazing Turncoat Hypocrite Schwarzenegger is.

I normally place it on the toilet tank or TP dispenser.

LOL I'd be walking so stiffly if I had a DE in my pants, great mental picture there.

It is a situation requiring renegotiation though. I usually move mine around the side of my belt and keep it about knee level. I've been IWB carrying the Glock fine in the 3:30 to 5:00 general area due to FL wardrobe but don't like how it sticks in my back when I get in the car, and isn't comfortable in a variety of positions so I may be changing up the rig soon. Might sacrifice draw speed a bit for comfort.

I am too afraid to put it on the tank b/c I think that I would forget it.

It'd be hard for me to miss a 5# gun not digging into my side

fired the H&K P2000 today for the first time in training, man is it fun but lots of stuff to remember while instructors are yelling at you.

.40, but they come in 9 and .357 sig. The p2000 is a lot like the usp compact, which is also available in .45.

Nice. I love the .40 S&W cartridge. The G23 shoots well for me.

Yes it is

and I love mine.

GreekGodX · 10-14-2009, 04:46 PM

I'm going to try out a p2000 this weekend in the .40. I've been drooling over that gun for the past few weeks. This might be my first purchase..

gettysburgfreak · 10-14-2009, 08:54 PM

i have never fired a pistol before until today but from the 2 hours I spent shooting it, it seems like a pretty sweet gun. I don't know about other pistols but with this one you have to pull the trigger back as your extending out so by the time you get your arms fully extended the trigger hits the sweet spot and is ready to fire.

My first firearm purchase was a Ruger 10/22 rifle. You will always remember your first gun

Titan410 · 10-14-2009, 11:45 PM

My first was a Marlin 60 about 20 years ago. I went cheaper than the 10/22, but its all good, I sill have the 60, and a couple 10/22's now too.
