New pistols give me a chubby.   

It would be a good idea as a new pistol owner to find a good instructor and take a defensive pistol course. It will start you off right and will make shooting more useful than just throwing rounds downrange. Even a one day course will make a big difference.

Don't be discouraged if you find out you can't shoot like John Wayne or anyone else in the movies. Nobody can. It's much more difficult than a rifle, but that's more reason to practice!  Enjoy your new weapon.

Very nice selection! You will like it! Hard to beat the 1911! I am sure Ruger makes a great one! I like the pancake style leather holster with the thumb break. I dont mind carrying cocked and locked, but the strap between the hammer and the firing pin gives me a little psychological peace of mind when its on my hip.

thats a good looking piece. What was the cost on it? I currently have the Rugar SR9c and love it, but want something a little bigger (.45)

After tax - $700 at Wholesale Sports in Silverdale.

But you'll have to wait about 5 months for it.  Put your name on a waiting list. It's worth the wait.

Thanks for the advice. 

I can't believe what my wife said yesterday... cool pistol.  Then those words I never imagined I'd hear... "I'd kinda like one too."

Holy crap! What??? 

So, now it's on my list to get her an LCP and both of us take a course together.   

[C-Money]

Very Nice, glad she has her eye on a pistol! Great fun is in your future!

If I could have gotten my hands on the Ruger I would have bought it.
But I always wanted a Kimber and after working the whole month fo december overseas I decided I deserve it.

What do you think? Have you enjoyed having it?

[royalbull]

have only shot 1/2 box of shells thru it, too early to tell but so far I like it. have to buy some empty cases and start reloading for it, I don't like paying that much for ammo.

[silverdalesauer]

Yeah, wish I had the ability to reload. I simply don't have the space or equipment. Maybe one day.
