A 3 incher followed me home
I have been going back and forth (as some of you know) between several models, then I narrowed it down to The Ultra Stanless II. Then I had to choose between a new one and two used ones. I ended up with a used one from my local GS I like doing business with them when I can especially since they book students for me. So bad phone pic and all, here she is.

Congrats Seabear, hope you enjoy it for many years. I think you will be surprised at how well the 3" handles.

Thanks. Yep easy switch.
I think I will look for a slim and smooth wood grip, I think that will work easier with concealed carry, rubber tends to be sticky against shirt fabric, and make it ride up. I will see how it shoots with these grips first . It's been riding in a IWB Galco imitation of a Crossbreed all afternoon around the house just for a trial run.

What did you wind up paying for it, if you don't mind my asking?

Too dang much. couldn't get it for less than $700. The New one was $825, and the other used one in town wanted $775.The Annoyed Man wrote:What did you wind up paying for it, if you don't mind my asking?
I started just to buy new, but I felt like I could save a few coins and still do business with my local GS. They made me a lot of money this past year, of course, I bought 3 guns from them too. LOL Oh and I swapped a nother gun for a guided fishing trip too. So 4 guns. I need help....

Re: A 3 incher followed me home
After thinking about all I have picked up this year, I am feeling guilty. Maybe I need to let a couple go to make more room.

Seeing all of the Kimbers being added lately has me wanting to move a 1911 up a few spots on my gun list.
Nice piece Seabear!

Actually I was going to ask for one but I thought that might tip her off to my problem. LOLKatygunnut wrote:Or, you could ask for another safe for Christmas.

I fiugre if I only let her see one at a time she won't really know how many there are. See? These three are like one. Do we see a pattern starting? (continueing)
