Very wise...........

Personally, I like the way it looks already. I'd leave it alone.

I'm actually surprised that this thread has so much discussion. Seems obvious to me that a spartan and stripped down version for your EDC would be a must. But, I realize that opinions are like elbows..... everyone has one or two.

I can second Jeff's work as being high quality. He has done two or three good jobs for me. Not re-barreling, but in general he does great work.

Exactly

Thanks for posting. Damn shame that we have to go all the way to Louisville to get a good gunsmith.

"They're coming to get you, Barbra......"

You're exactly right. The .40 takes a lot of undeserved shade thrown it's way by folks that do not understand it or have not taken the time to shoot it enough. One of the best deals I ever got on a handgun was about 15 years ago when one of the middle TN dealers got a hold of a bunch of Sig P229's in .40 where one of the Police dept's (I think Metro Nashville) were cycling out. The price was crazy low and I got up there early and got to pick one out that looked as though it had hardly been fired. Below are picts as it looked when I got it and then after I added a couple of things to it. It is my bedstand gun right beside me at night.

Note to self...... "NEVER sell nothin'"

That really looks good. You may have inspired me.....

Pop, yeah, it is a bit small in my hands, too. I am 6'7" and have pretty good size hands..... but it beats carrying a sharp stick. I also have a Ruger LCP that I like better. I bought a North American Arms in .22 mag. Again, very small, but can be used as a "get off me" gun.

Speaking of pocket pistols.... I've had this little Beretta Tomcat in .32, for about 30 years. It is a nice and reliable pocket carry. I did "jazz it up" a bit by adding some new grips. Makes it a little more bulky.

I have not heard that news yet. thanks for posting.

Not familiar with that store. Is it a chain or local to White House?

All good, folks. Just always remember that familiarity and smooth/speedy deployment are just as important as shooting accuracy. Maybe even more under a stressful, life-threatening situation.
