A new toy

Well, I got my new toy today. I did get a Walther P99 in 9 mm. Now I have to go through the process of selecting ammunition for carrying and practice. The practice part is easy...full metal jacket. It is cheap and accurate (depending on what you get. Some Chinese made stuff misfeeds and fouls badly.) To carry, I will probably use Hydro-shok by Federal. I will have to research before I buy.

I suppose before I carry my Walther, I need to get a carry permit.

Here's a good topic.....9mm or .40 cal

I am in the market to buy a new handgun. I have decided to buy a Walther P99AS. The real question is what caliber do I buy in? Many say that the .40 is a real man killer and that the 9mm is passe. All the studies that I have seen show the 9mm to be just as capable as the .40. So, what is the big deal?

My opinion is buy which caliber you want and empty your magazine in to your target!

I know...no posts

I know that there is only the introduction post on this blog. Honestly, I forgot it was here. There have been a few things going on, so let me catch up.

From May 15th to June 3rd, I was in Camp Shelby, Mississippi for annual training. It was long, hot but not too bad. Spending 4 days in the field on a tank reminded me why I hate being a tanker. After the 4 days I was bruised and battered, but I survived. I smelled bad, but I did survive. The best part was shooting the main gun, naturally. I joked that it orgasmicly so.

We are having our kitchen redone. It has been a long process. From start until now, it has been eight weeks. Hopefully, we will be done tomorrow. We will have to wait and see.

That's about it for now until I can remember to post again.
