SAXET gun show tomorrow, San Antonio *updated with pic*

[Flatland2D]

Just curious if anyone will be going. SA get's a two-fer this month with the SAXET show. It'll be at Alzafar Shrine tomorrow and Sunday.

I might be tempted to pick up a P-3AT if I can find exactly what I want for a decent price (hard chrome finish, 2nd gen).

yeppers, I'll be there.
I need to find a good set of grips, and a couple of 7rnd speedloaders would go over well, too.

Well I made the purchase today. It didn't have a hard chrome slide, but when i saw it, I thought it was equally sexy, if not more so.

Here's the new addition next to my other (only) carry gun. Been using the OWB holster the last couple weeks. What a relief! Smart Carry's are good and all, but I can finally go out to eat without hanging a 4lb weight on my lower stomach. I might start marketing something like that for weight control. You feel full much faster!

Also picked up a Galco horse hide pocket holster. I've had it in my back pocket almost continuously since I bought it and it's definitely comfortable. I can hardly feel it's there. Can't wait to go shoot it.

Congratulations on the new purchase!

Thanks!

I also forgot to mention that my wife got really excited when I showed her this gun. Whenever we pass by the gun counter at a store, and I stop for a few seconds to see what's available, I always say something like, "Hey, that's a nice gun for you... I'll get you that for your birthday," but she's always been uninterested and will just respond with a sarcastic "Whatever." She actually wants one of these little Kel-Tecs though and wants to go shoot it with me! This might be the gun that inspires her to get her CHL. I bring it up every once in a while, but she thinks as long as I'm around she won't need one. But I'm not around her 100% of the time. Might have to buy another one. I'm not sharing this one!

Make sure she tries yours first; they tend to be a little snappy due to the light weight.

The little Kel-Tec is not a range gun by any means. The first time I fired mine was an eye opener! Not painful or unpleasant, just a little snappier than I had expected. Much more recoil than a Bersa Thunder firing the same round for example.

Make sure she has a firm grip on that little cannon before she lights the fuse....wouldn't want to scare her away on the first trip to the range.

[Flatland2D]

Yeah, I've already warned her about the recoil. She's fired guns many times before, just doesn't want to have to deal with carrying. Such a small gun might make it easier for her to imagine. She see's all that I go through putting on and taking off holsters and just doesn't want the hassle I imagine.

Also, just did the fluff and buff tonight. Now I have mirror shine in all the right places. The action feels smoother, too. I'm sure it'll benefit from a couple hundred rounds of break-in as well.
