Worked it with a gun dealer friend this morning...from opening till 1pm. It was busy. He sold about sixty during that period. Mainly handguns for personal defense and mostly to what seemed to be new gun owners. I haven't worked one in a couple years and was surprised at the high number of first time owners compared to in the past where gun shows had mostly gun nuts......guess we can't call ourselves that anymore....it might go on our permanent record. Will be there in the morning again. I did find an XDs :thumbs2: Took it to range this afternoon.

I didn't see but one at $679..deliveries haven't been good lately to dealers. I talked to Joe McBride yesterday afternoon at his store and he said he had more than fifty back ordered. I saw some on gunbroker for $639 (or more) plus shipping plus FFL..got mine with a ministerial discount and can't tell :cool:. Glad to get one.......now the wife wants it for her purse......you know what that means......I have to find another for me.....but I'll suffer through it.

I was there this afternoon. I've never seen so many fingers on triggers. Heck I saw a guy muzzle his own face with his finger on the trigger. Sooo many noobs that know nothing about safety.

The stupid was strong there today.
