Unless she was saying you should have used the money and bought HER one, then I might think about finding another GF. ;-)
I was thinking along the same lines, however I was trying to be nice. Maybe he likes those High Maintenance gals. We each have our cross to bare. :coolgleamA:
Carry safe and carry when and where you can. I'm just sayin'.

In a fit of anger I used the line "get over it" and boy, I never heard the end of that...but objecting to such a nice purchase, instant grounds for a break-up!

I had a box of WWB and some federal FMJ's and it ate it up with no hiccups. I had a few jams in the beginning but I was expecting that. After the first 200 rounds, it went very smooth. I haven't fed any HP's through it, but planning to do so here soon.

Things I'm looking into for change would be the sights and the grips. The grips were a bit too bulky but darned if I love that STI logo on them. The sights were just too dark for me to see the target with. I have a Kimber Stainless 5" that has similar sights, but for some reason I can aim real well w them. I'm thinking because it has a bit more spacing to where they contrast. Not sure.. I heard you can put some neon nail polish and that'll help, but .. eh..

I'm considering some night sights for it, but out of curiosity, do they make them other than the standard 'green' glow? Also what kind of sights do I purchase? Do I look for Officer size sights? How do I go about getting them? I looked through the net for some, but some look like they would not fit the grooves.

Thanks in advance fellas. :tiphat:

Really??? Jokingly or serious? I would tell her to build a bridge and get over it. Offer to let her shoot it "rlol"
