Got the itch - Itch scratched and pic added
« on: February 23, 2012, 07:56:08 PM »
Ever get that hole in your pocket when you have a few extra dollars and just want to go to the gun store and see if anything catches your eye?  I got it bad right now.  I think it's because I'm waiting on my new Seecamp to get delivered to my FFL that I purchased from Tom at Irish Guard.  I'm headed to the store to see if anything catches my attention.  I don't know if it will be a good or a bad thing if I find something.   However it may turn out, I'll let you guys know.  haha  - Adam


Wasn't even thinking and added pic to a new post, first post on page 2.

Adam:

Since you are waiting on a Seecamp and have the "itch," the only antipruritic I have at hand would be a photograph of my wife's LWS32 in its Hedley holster, old ivory grips, and custom storage box (for whatever symptomatic relief all of that might provide):

Richard that is awesome.     

The itch has been scratched.  Camera on the phone is horrible.   To keep the suspense, pics and info will come when I get home.

Very nice, indeed, RS.

Adam.  You're going to love the Seecamp.

Jack,

Why buy the M&P over the SR22 other than two more rounds in the S&W?

Now, I do know that feeling.  The M & P does feel good.  I haven't tried the SR22; now waiting on the Colt 1911 .22  to see how that stacks up!    :)

Sounds like you might like the Browning 1911A1 the best.

I won't know until I shoot the M&P.....at 85% full size the Browning is a little small for me......after a few hundred rounds I have a red mark on the webbing of my hand.....nothing serious.......the sights are very small on the Browning...not a Bullseye pistol.......... :)

I know a couple of guys who have the SR22 and they are very ammo sensitive, I will be going with the M&P as I like my M&P 40c a lot, it just seems to point very natural and feels really good in my hand. ;D
