Just doing my part.

Today I did two things that would shock most people who know me. #1 -- I unpacked and set up my new Apple MacBook Pro laptop. As someone who has made their living with the initials MCSE, MCDBA and MCSP behind his name for the past ten years or so this is actually a pretty big deal. Microsoft has been good to me and has paid for a lot of things, but I've had it with the direction they are taking with their desktop OS. My new personal computer is a Mac. Eat that, Ballmer!!! #2 -- I ordered a new kydex body from Comp-Tac for the spare MTAC holster that I had laying around. My HK P2000 will keep it's MTAC, but the 1911 is now carried in a Milt Sparks VM2. So the new kydex body? It fits a Glock. I figure sooner or later I'm going to end up with a Glock 19. Might as well have something to carry it in.

My wife and I had the chance to hold one of the P250s a few weeks ago. It wasn't for either of us but I'm glad to hear that your wife found something she will like carrying. Not to steer us completely off topic, but what method has she found that she prefers carrying the firearm? Outside the waistband? Inside? Purse? Thanks.

That's the first idea that came to my mind.

Found more photos...

Whatever the case, I wonder if the guy who took those pictures is now looking for a new job.

The grip looks awfully Walther P99-ish.

Someone over on Glocktalk leaked photos of the new XD-M handguns yesterday but apparently Springfield shut them down post-haste. The photos have since been removed, but there is now a link on Springfield's website that invites you to sign up for daily email announcements about the new (M) factor. I'm still searching for photos. Apparently it's a new version of the XD that lowers the bore axis (about damn time) and improves the grip by making it fill the hand a little better. *** EDIT ... Photos Located ***

Welcome!

In order for it to be well worn, it has to have wear. So... this gun sucks?

The old Trader Feedback system had a gaping security hole that if exploited would let you really mess with someone's feedback rating. I pulled the software as a result. Let me see what I can come up with.

That's a good looking firearm!

Those are pretty much my thoughts too. Glock 19. Plinking? Check. Good enough to carry later? Check.

Hopefully those marks on the fence are from buckshot.

That's a well worn pistola.

I agree with this 100%

Get a Glock 19. Call it a day.

There's some good thinking going on in this thread. For what it's worth, my daily carry has become my HK P2000 .40SW since it's the one autoloader that I have right now that (a.) isn't a 1911 and (b.) carries more than 8 rounds of ammo and (c.) that I have an IWB holster for. Twelve cartridges of .40SW isn't too shabby although three more cartridges of 9mm would be nice. I am still very interested in picking up a Glock 19 sometime soon, but that will have to wait until I have a spare $500 to sink into another firearm.

That's awesome! One of these days we'll get around to the progeny part; just leaving the timing of that one to the Big Guy upstairs.

As long as an OHGC member is with us, we are allowed to shoot as their guest.

Yes, it's been one hell of a knife. SOG has a new "Aegis Tanto" coming out later this year that I really would like to pick up. Thankfully their lifetime warranty will cover repair or replacement of my Flash Tanto's handle but it's going to mean being without the knife for a while I'm sure.

I'm currently carrying a SOG Flash II but the handle busted and I'm looking for something else. Since I'm in a knife sorta mood, I thought it might be fun and educational (for me at least) to post pics of our knives. Here's what mine is supposed to look like when the handle isn't all jacked up:

I am changing the first post in this thread to reflect the concrete date and time for the Meet. I am also changing the poll so that we can pick a place to eat. This poll will be open for the next 7 days. Please vote accordingly.

I'd say we should steer clear of the Meet being on the 10th just so as not to conflict with other things nearby (such as the Hero Gear sale). Furthermore the holiday weekends look to be a bust according to the poll, so maybe we should just drive a stake into the ground and declare May 17th to be the day.

The only kydex I'd shove that gun into would have leather sandwiched on the other side... a la Comp-Tac MTAC. Otherwise, leather!
