    I got it for $452 including tax. My CCW instructor has a small business selling guns, etc, so he got me a deal...the earlier version with the stupid special takedown tool just feels excellent in my hand - the diversion chamber for the output gas

    lowers the recoil, and you don't need as strong a spring. The takedown on the new one is outstanding and easy.

    I love the gun. To buy that laser separately easily runs $100 +. The 3.5" barrel is the size I wanted. Seems that the 3.1 of the M&P shield is just a bit too short. We'll see how it goes when I start shooting it in advance training. Has a fixed barrel - is extremely accurate.

    The red laser ...not so much in bright daylight. I hear green does better, but is far more expensive to build, bigger all around.

    I have about 50 bales of bad hay (looks like straw), to make a long fancy shooting range out back.

    We have 8 1/2%  tax added to that price I showed so add about $39 to the $457, so he gave you a decent price. Ours is also very good compared to all the big stores that sell around here. Less overhead.

        The study also showed that CCW permit holders are “extremely” law-abiding citizens.

        No kidding!

        Plus one of my favorite old sayings "the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun"......(mjp version) unless you just want to wait until the bad guy runs out of ammunition or the police arrive.

          So when do you expect yours to come in?

          BTW the takedown on the Ruger 22LR Hunter is now a simple one button operation. I had one of the 22LR Rugers back in the late 60s and it was a nightmare to take apart and put back together for cleaning.

          Here is the comparison of the Mark IV (flat grips) with the older Mark III showing how easy the new takedown system works.

            Takedown of PPQ Looks very simple as well. Never mind found the new takedown system.

              Here is the comparison of the Mark IV (flat grips) with the older Mark III showing how easy the new takedown system works.

               A couple of days. He works with a company closely - my hunch is, it's also veteran owned - they only have 75 of the new ones, and a lot of them are going out, he got one for me - it'll get here in about two days. 4.5 years in Special Forces, he has connections. I wasn't going to get the built in laser, but it was only 40 bucks, compared to 119 or so to buy it later. and it is easily removable, if I wanted to.

                  I've read great reviews over that Mark III. When I went to pay for my gun to be ordered, he showed me in his little shop a gun

              he had for sale. He didn't use to have any. It's a Taurus semi-auto 22lr pistol. You don't rack it, you flip the switch, the barrel turns down and you put a shell in. Then you close it back up, and put your mag in. I think I'm getting that for my Wifie - it's a neat little gun. She can fire a 45, but doesn't like it.

                I think I already told the story about teaching her how to shoot my .22 magnum rifle before we were married...

                        sure, got it in two days - cleaned it the other night - brilliant engineering on the breakdown.

                        I already had a blackhawk holster that will work. Might order a custom holster later.

                        Haven't shot it yet - been too busy. I love the laser jobbie, but in pitch black darkness, you can't see the target without a flashlight. Interesting. lol The laser pinpoints into darkness, I chuckled at that.

                        Can't wait to take it out back. I have 50 old bales of hay to make a training area, goin to do that tomorrow.

                        Wife is in Texas - helping move her Dad into a brand new assisted living place. It is state of the art beautiful. Has it's own movie theater, chef, etc.

                        I'm keeping pretty busy dehydrating cherry tomatoes, etc.

                              The cherry tomatoes, dehydrated...I snack on them over the winter, rehydrate them and put em in salads.

                              Dad and I spent many years learning the very best varieties to grow.

                              I grow sunsugar cherry tomatoes. Those were the best seller at the farmer's market by far, even to kids who

                              don't like tomatoes. Sungold are really good, too, but they tend to crack a lot if you get a huge rain, after being in the sun for days.

                                Tried a new one - sunpeach - which is also excellent.

                              and the good old sweet millions, which reminds me, I need to go save seed.

                                Sliced whole tomatoes - yep - you can rehydrate them and make salsa, add them to chili in the winter, add them to soups,

                              salads, but they don't keep their texture to put them on sandwiches.

                                Dad and I spent many years learning the very best varieties to grow.

                                I grow sunsugar cherry tomatoes. Those were the best seller at the farmer's market by far, even to kids who

                                don't like tomatoes. Sungold are really good, too, but they tend to crack a lot if you get a huge rain, after being in the sun for days.

                                  Tried a new one - sunpeach - which is also excellent.

                                and the good old sweet millions, which reminds me, I need to go save seed.

                                  Sliced whole tomatoes - yep - you can rehydrate them and make salsa, add them to chili in the winter, add them to soups,

                                salads, but they don't keep their texture to put them on sandwiches.

                                Well I'll see those cherry tomatoes and raise you one bag of peanut M&Ms.?

                                        Is that the Ruger lc9? Nice little gun.

                                        and I couldn't read what the second one was, but it looks bigtime classy.
