New Gun on the Way

So, I was hanging out on my favorite gun forum and I saw a gun up for sale in the trading post.  Sig  239 in 9mm with 5 mags, 3 holsters, etc.  Basically the whole kit and caboodle minus ammo, for about the price of the gun in used condition.  I've only gotten to shoot a Sig once, a single stack full size 9mm.  I liked it, but not enough to spend the money on one.  This week, I bit, the price was just to good.  I can hardly wait to shoot this gun.  Will is be as nice as I remember?  Will it be as accurate as I've always heard they are?  Will it be small enough to become my new EDC?  I hope so, it cost me $300 in wife tax to bring this one home.

Win 1000 rounds of .380 ACP Ammo

During the great ammo shortage of 2008 I really caught the reloading bug.  I've come to enjoy the simple pleasures of making my own little precisely measured dollops of lead poisoning.  That said, I wouldn't have the brass I needed to enjoy reloading without places like Lucky Gunner to buy ammo at.  So when Breda posted that Lucky Gunner and The Firearms Blog were giving away ammo.  I got excited.  With ammo prices still running almost 150% of 2007 pricing.  Every shooter is feeling the pinch.  Now I don't shoot .380.  Not because I don't like it or think it's not effective.  I just don't want to complicate my ammo supply.  So, because I've enjoyed reading Breda's blog so much, I'm giving any .380 ammo I win to her.

All this reminds me on why I've made my personal ammo decisions.  I stick with NATO calibers for all my firearms.  7.62 is plenty big enough for any animals I hunt.  5.56 is a great plinking round.  9mm is everything I need in a defensive round.  12 gauge is what the Marines use for house clearing, I've never been one to argue with a marine about ammo choices.  I find that twelve gauge works just fine from home defense to Canadian Geese.  It can be a lot of fun to play with different calibers, but if I really want to shoot a .45, I've got lots of friends to help scratch that itch. 

Now my son, he has to get all fancy with that 25-06, the little rebel.  He listens to rap music too.  I guess if that's as bad as he gets, I've probably got the best kid in the world.

PF9 Mark II Update

My new to me PF9 has performed beautifully for me.  It's been to the range three times kicking about 250 rounds down range each time.  No malfunctions to speak of.  But I've got a problem.  I can't seem to trust the PF9 design as much as I used to.  Having the takedown pin walk out on me makes me wonder when it'll happen again.  What if it happened when I really needed the gun?  So I found a screaming deal on the Sig P239.  Hopefully it'll be small enough to become my every day carry gun.
