Re: What I am doing while waiting. You?

I've been wearing one of my two carry pieces all day long since I got them last week. I'm one of those lucky geeks that works out of his home, so I can legally carry most of the time without a CHL!

I've had an old Don Hume IWB clip on for years, but it can get hurty after a few hours; especially SOB. I decided to get a DeSantis soft-tuck and it makes wearing the SP101 like wearing a firm pillow. SUCH a difference. You can adjust the angle of dangle so it fits perfect in that little hollow behind my right love handle. My SP101 has crimson trace laser grips and the holster seems like it was made for it. The little pokeie out that holds the laser butts right up to the edge of the holster like it was custom fitted.

I have a Kel Tec PF9 that I actually ended up using to qualify during the CHL class. The thing fits my hand perfect and I'm actually pretty accurate with it, but I never really considered carrying it because I don't think 9mm has enough "authority." On a whim, I decided to get the same holster DeSantis makes for mini nines and after I got good and used to the SP101 version, I tried carrying the PF9 for a few days. I was wearing an undershirt with untucked Hawaiians for a few days and it was so comfy, I'd completely forget about it. I had to go downtown for some face time with a customer which meant business casual dress. Just for fun, I rigged up the little PF9 in the DeSantis and tucked my geek issue blue button-down over it. I could not get over how this thing just vanished. I spent a few minutes twirling and stretching in front of the mirror and I can honestly say I'd never spot it in million years. The jay shaped clip goes over the pants and under the belt with a little ridge that belt just sort of sits in so the rig stays put on the draw. Works like a charm.

My only concern is that the jay clip is made out of some sort of hard polymer plastic, so time will tell how well that part holds up. But hey, $24 bucks on Amazon and I have another one in two days.

Re: What I am doing while waiting. You?

I bet ammo will stock back up in late March, early April. Maybe even cheaper. The panic-stricken will only hoard so much. The manufacturers are in overdrive and at some point, the general population will realize that the anti-gun ninnies are just as weak as they've ever been. Actually, thanks to the efforts of groups like the GOA and the NRA, the anti-gunners are at a bigger disadvantage than they usually are when their regular tide of histrionics starts to rise.

I know I'm bucking the herd here, but I wouldn't invest in ammo futures at this stage. Maybe six months ago, but not now.

Hey! My holsters came in today! They're comfy and dang near invisible under a tucked shirt at about 3:15.

Even better if I'd drop about 20 pounds...
