Personally, I don't think it's possible to learn to love a grip or grip angle that doesn't feel good or right to you the second you pick it up the first time. Sure, you can learn to shoot it fine,...

Sig P229 .40 S&W. Plain jane one, nothing fancy.
Bought used for a (IMHO) excessively high price at LGS minutes earlier.
Someone else's gun. We looked it over and saw zero issues, it had very...
I had a real bad run of new guns starting in 1977 and continuing almost without a break until about 1983. Used ones were pretty good.
Taurus 83. First gun and worst gun. Spit lead badly, barrel...
I had a chance to buy some of it for a cheap price. Glad I passed, and glad she wasn't hurt too badly. I've never had a gun blow up on me, yet.
Yeah, after a friend's lost it and we took about 20 minutes to find it in the leaves and sticks on the ground. Just a little makes it not happen anymore.
You and my late mother would have gotten along great.
My dad, and I many years apart, to mom: "Why are you all dressed up?"
Mom: "I'm going to the grocery store".
Mom: "I'm going to the doctor"...
I saw another 28-2 at a local gun store yesterday, and the price was just "OK", but the gun itself was very nice, box and sales receipt included. I somehow willed myself to pass on it, and the next...
My Gun has about 2mm overlap, at best. I'm not concerned.
I finally got around to "decapping" the little points on the gun. It only took a few minutes with a fine grit sanding stick. About 10 strokes took care of it. VASTLY better. I haven't shot it, but...
I can't pass up an insanely cheap gun, and I bit on this. Sort of an M&P clone from what I've read and seen, but I don't have a lot of experience with M&P's to be honest. $360+ship+transfer, usual...
I'm not crazy about the capacity, but I can overlook it. I'll have to take a look at the striker area. I hadn't heard of any problems with the gun other than someone cracked the frame on an early one.
It's cheap enough that I don't fear modifying it, and I really dislike taped/sleeved grips for some reason. My Sig P226SSE would never be modded.
Yeah, I know it wont take much to make the points...
I bought the APX AI Carry about 2 weeks ago. It was $219 after the rebate. Mine is all black, there was an FDE one cheaper, for some reason. I'm not an FDE fan at all, so $10 less isn't enough to...
I wouldn't have minded them asking me if I was having chest pains, except waking me up when I was having a very hard time sleeping with all the noise. The blood draw one time a night sure didn't...
I've never seen my eye doctor in anything but scrubs. He's insanely busy, and even when I ran into him while he was picking up take out, he had the scrubs on.
I had, and to this point at 67, high BP, but no other problems, my arteries, according to ultasound tests on my carotids, have "minimal plaques". That whole deal when I had that test done was simply...
I'm trying to think of the last time I saw a doctor wearing a suit at work. I think it has to be the ex-military surgeon who yanked my appendix back in '68. That wasn't the last time I saw him in a...
We had a relative who was very healthy all his life until he was 75, and he had his first "cardiac event", which was some sort of AFIB related thing. A few months later, he took his wife to the...
One of my present cats is barely more than 1/3 the size of Orville, and she has messed me up several times when she's "snapped" and attacked me. Her attacks are getting more and more infrequent as...
He was faster than Orville (and a lot smarter) and seemed to be able to do anything he wanted to with him, no matter how angry Orville got and he sometimes got scary angry. I have dozens of scars on...
I'm an old guy, but I won't wear a suit and tie anymore, period. I don't care if people talk about me going to a funeral in my everyday clothes. I am what I am, and a suit isn't going to change that....
Original name was going to be Popeye, as his eyes bugged out when he chewed, but there were three Popeyes, all Dacshunds in the neighborhood, so it was Gus. General Norman Swartzkopf said "He looks...
There should be some sort of system in place to prevent screw ups like wrong or really out of date addresses, but it seems like that's not common. Or it's ignored. When they go to the wrong house, on...
I liked my Python, but didn't love it. And I like the looks of the old ones better than the new one, but it's not a big deal, it looks ok. If I'm going to HAVE to buy a new revolver, which is highly...
I'm friends with 3 retired cops, and the stories they have, and on the videos on YT about cops going to the wrong address so often just amaze me. There's a recent one where they went to the wrong...
