Greetings, all-
New guy here from Jefferson Co, WV. Have a deposit down on an LCP. Price was $295 plus tax, title, DNA Test, etc. Thought that was a good deal so I jumped on it (they told me that Ruger was raising the price 5% on 2009 production). Anyway, mine will be the next one in the door at the shop. I'll be curious to see if it's a 370 or 371, diamond or not, hard case or not, yada yada.
Was Army Infantry in another life years ago and have been CC in VA and now WV for about 8 years. Traded in a first generation Taurus PT111 that I never liked for a PT1911SS that I love, but but have found that more often than not, it stays in the lockbox in my dresser instead of coming out with me. Part of the reason lately is that I was away on TDY for a month followed by the holidays and suddenly I'm 20# more than I was and there just ain't room inside my waistband. It hides very well in my The Answer from Tucker Gunleather, but still it doesn't come out with me as often as it should. The LCP, I suspect, will be a constant companion, once we get to know and trust each other.
The LCP, when it arrives, will be joining a Berretta 92F (9mm), H&R 949 (.22), Glenfield model 60 (.22), an old Sears .22 rifle (Winchester made), the 1911, a Mossberg 500 (.12ga) and a Marlin 336 (30/30). The last 3 all were acquired in the past 6 months and my wife (aka She Who Must be Obeyed - SWMBO for short) thinks I'm done buying firearms. Good thing I had an enormous bottle of loose change to cash in.
Looking forward to discussing Elsie with you all when she arrives.
