We went through this type of thing as well. I am gritting my teeth as I type this. I cant say anything nice, so I wont say any more

By the way, Thanks for all the great replies! I love the knowledge and opinions here.

Trying to catch up on all the posts. The purpose for this first pistol is home defense. Don't plan to conceal carry just yet but likely in the future. I have also thought of the 380. Sounds like I better check ammo availability to make a better decision! I don't necessarily have large hands so the larger grips may be tough.

Wow, lots to think about. I'll have to research some of this ^^^. I think I would like one with a safety. I am making a list of some to go check out locally (if I can find them!) ^^ Yes I will consider this as well !!

Never had a hand gun, only rifles. But it is past time that I had something. Shot some 9mm with friends as a kid but dont remember what they were. Last year shot a Sig 365XL and a P320, thats it. What can you guys recommend for a 9mm in the $400-700 range? I know I should go somewhere and shoot some to see what feels good, but I am looking for a place to start.

Just wait until everyone also needs to charge their electric cars!! Wonderful

Hard to say how rare but here are a few interesting things...

Pretty sure I have one of these.....somewhere

That's why you have to buy 3 or 4 and customize them yourself. Used to do that in the 80's Along with building my own implements because there were so few. I used to show them on a 4x8' farm display at several toy shows in N IL and S WI. Good times.

I use the shop vac like 12_Guy, but I use a piece of hose so I can flex it around to the sides. It does get plugged often, so it takes awhile. Now you guys got me thinkin I should clean mine. It has been a while.

Love this...^^^ Both are great. Sometimes you feel like some Roth, sometimes Hagar. "who didn’t abuse in excess from that genre and era.." - 100% correct

LOL, I should have known. I thought someone hired the infamous Cade brothers to come in and demolish things. LOL

I'm curious, whats the story with these "Cade boys" ?

My sentiments exactly. (Expect I dont' say Y'all) About a month and half in, they started taking temperature at the front door of my workplace. Have never found anyone with a temperature. My sons friend is a temperature taker at a large gas refinery. LOTS of workers from all over the country in and out through 6 different entrances, 24-7. Only one high temp recorded and that was a guy on a hot day with no AC in his car. Sat in the shade for a bit and he was good.
