Catwoman has approved the purchase of one weapon for Christmas.

No, I'm not a pussy. She's a lawyer, you know. She is not to be messed with!

That's exactly what I purchased Tuesday night (election day) with one Novak mag and another Chip McCormick mag.

I ran 200 rounds of WWB 230 grain through it this week and it has not failed in the anyway, shape or form. For the price this is going to be a personal build gun.

They are tight, but true to the John M. Browning design.

I'm having my front slide milled to accept the Novak sights, Kart NM barrel fit, extended safety and Wilson beavertail grip safety with Simonich Gunner Grips in desert tan.

It's a good gun for the money.

P220

After a bit of light reading here and other places, I picked this up today. Can't wait to see how she runs.

Got her for $900 with 300 rounds of Winchester White Box. I think I did all right.

Thanks for all the indirect advice you all didn't even know you were giving!

I stopped by one of our local gun shops today, pretty slim pickings, they said they had 21K in black rifles less than 2 weeks ago, today they had 3 AR15s, a Sig 556, 1 AK47 and an AK74 and not a M14's in sight , normally they've got 30-40 feet solid of assault rifles of all types. They still had plenty of ammo though.

Picked up a Charles Daly Hi-Power a few weeks ago. Oddly I am starting to like this more than my M&P 9mm, and have been using it as my main CWP weapon. Everyone seems to love those RIA 1911s. I bought a lemon a few months ago and the safety fell off of within 3 days. Hopefully you guys can avoid my misfortune.
