    Default Got my 2nd Handgun Today!!

    So, after mulling it over for quite some time today, I made a choice. I was going back and forth for quite some time between the Glock 26 and the Springfield XD subcompact 9mm, and it had to come down to how it felt in my hand. The outright winner was the XD, and I am very pleased with my purchase.

    I want to own a Glock very badly, but I just can't seem to find one comfortable enough for me. Maybe when I start looking for a .45 I'll have better luck. Anyways, just wanted to share my excitement with everyone.

    Sounds like another Scotia trip needs to be scheduled. Get some alone time in to feel it out then we should try to meet up again. GRATS Next is one for that friend you told me about
    BTW - Where did you decide to pick it up from? How was the service? Inquiring minds want to know.

    EDIT: YEP - PICS!!!

    Yeah I plan on heading out to Scotia tomorrow morning to put a few hundred rounds through it, and would definitely be down to go out there again when you want as long as scheduling allows.

    It was originally going to be for that friend , but just holding it in my hand made me fall in love with it, so they'll have to wait 'til later.

    I ended up going to Belding & Mull, in Philipsburg. I first tried J&E in Bellefonte, but felt like an absolute fool when I got there and discovered it's only open from 3-7pm.

    The service at Belding & Mull was very much to my liking. They didn't seem at all rude, but didn't jump on me when I walked through the door either, which I like. They were rather nice, and answered any of my questions. After I decided to actually buy something, the conversation was actually pretty enjoyable. Overall a very good experience and I would definitely do business with them again.

    Thanks, she is purdy sweet.

    May I ask why you're glad I didn't buy a Glock?

    I know, my heartstrings are already tugging at me to make the purchase on #3, they're just like tattoos; I love them and can't get enough of them.
