Morning, muchachos.

Morning Razmundos

Howdy, Tex. Bad thing about having a bunch of money in the bank is the temptation to buy every gun I ever wanted. Found myself looking too long and lustfully at an ad for a Glock 20 over the weekend. I resisted the temptation, but damn.

Go for it!

Shush. I just bought a Model 29 that's in for gunsmithing, a Ruger American All Weather in 30-06, and a Leupold VXi-3 3.5-10x40mm.  And I'm plotting out an AR build.  No more guns until I make some more money.

ha. now I'm looking at a Smith & Wesson M&P .40S&W, Smith & Wesson M&P Shield, and Taurus PT111. damn lot of nice guns out there.

In the extra sub compact carry world the 9 mm Shield is a solid choice.  Ruger offers some nice carry stuff at reasonable prices also.  I will forewarn you that with your arthritis you need to consider that  the .40 S&W offers quite a bit of recoil even in just a compact piece.  Personally in the sub compact world I carry a Springfield XD-S .45 with 3.3" barrel.

I agree with your assessment of my RA and the .44, was just looking. that XD-S looks nice!

My vote is for XD-S or FN/FNX.

Not exactly apples to apples there other than they are all really good guns.

after all my bills being paid, food in house, truck filled up, and humidors filled, I seem to have a few thousand dollars left over this month. sure is different than when I was in NY.

Have you finally closed out all bills associated with the Upstate?

yes, last year.

When a compact is proper (usually winter time with heavier clothing on) I carry a Glock 33 with a G 32 magazine or a Glock 30S with a G21 magazine.

Edit - When full size is appropriate (and it seldom is) I carry a G20SF or a S&W .44 mag mountain gun.

I lean the opposite direction - when the season mandates heavier clothing, I carry a bigger gun because the clothing makes it easier to conceal.

G33 and G30 with full size mags are pretty bigger than an XD-S, also  I did make an edit above too.

Tex don't fool around!  That's the kind of carrying I do when I expect I might encounter a bear.  For mere humans, I carry lesser calibers. ;-)
