Bodies can be quite treacherous. I got sent to the  er by the blasted ENT .  He said my BP was just too high. After three days in ICU and two more on a regular floor I went home. That was just a Coupla weeks ago and I'm having a real problem with staying awake and the last day it's Not responding to the meds right.. Might have to go back.
The Bersa magazine is stiff. Loading the first round wasn't Easy, I had to take a break to get number nine to 13 . Bought a loader and it makes it So much easier.
Not a round through it yet. Just haven't felt like walking out behind the shop and setting up targets.

You don't Hafta have a cheater for the River 22 pistol mags,but holding that little button down while you feed ten rounds down it gets Old.. And loaders make it faster, so I'm glad to have them, but I would sure like to be able to shove them in by hand. I had a Mossin Nagant I sold because I simply couldn't load it in under twenty minutes. PissedMeOff..

Sounds like you are set up nicely..

don't give them a treat every time they are called this way or they'll show up expecting food alla pavlov's dogs.

and most likely if you never again let chase the little green rascal, they'll stop coming.

Mike,

The black powder dude is younger, prettier and nicer than I am ......

Glock pistols have lots of competitors now-a-days.   Glock itself has an aftermarket of a sheer size that is amazing to me --- it is HUGE and is also being fed by the "build your own gun" guys as all of these self-build clones are patterned after the Glock.

Glock's copycat aftermarket is easily bigger than the current Glock Consumer market by 2-3x right now.

Timney Triggers recently just did a Glock drop in trigger that is drastically much more basic (simpler) and much much better than any stock Glock trigger as far as the slow take up, hard pull and very high break poundage characteristics of the stock trigger go.  

Glock is now getting heat on all the forums for "30 years of not listening to their customers" and being a "no innovating here" company.

From all the strident noise from the Glock Perfection boys you would think that Glock just got goosed in the butt by a red hot poker --- "not reactive" isn't what Glock fans are .... that is for sure.  They all jumped WAY up high in the air, grabbed their buns and hollered real loud jest fine, thank you very much.  

Hurts, doesn't it?          

However, the Glock Perfection factory boys still haven't come out with any real changes to the stock Glock trigger, nor have they come out with a serious Timney Trigger aftermarket competitor product of their very own.  

Glock has tried this past year, but failed to change anything much and has further damaged their "Glock Perfection" image as their last "new performance trigger" was more of the same sluggish take up hard wall stuff.

Fixing things, not so much.

So now Glock is flat out catching shite all over the place ........  Glock is the Intel of the gun world now,  i.e. the falling down, embarrassing "ex-standard".

Part of all of this mess is the heavy police use of the stock Glock product.  Cops and legal beagles all over want a hard walled over 5 pound pull that is somewhat slow to take up the trigger slack, i.e. stiff hard long pull trigger for "rookie cop fail free" safety and general liability reasons.

The list of "out of the box" things Glock needs to improve immediately for general public consumer use is the trigger system, the slide stop release and the stock plastic sights.  Add to this list they are currently 3 rounds off the mark for 9mm ammo carry capacity ......

=================================

My wife will likely only pick up my Glock 22 only in a very high stress situation, so my Glock trigger stays stock.  

I can deal with the stock Glock trigger, and she will never ever get close to having the experience level to deal with any lighter of a trigger pull ........  

All the Glock pistols I've seen are too large to put in my pocket and forget I have them till the need for a firearm comes up.   The last thing I shot was a Carpenter-Bee that just insisted in bussing 3 to 4 feet away from me repeatedly , the "Dern-Thing" !  

I've got a "Black Diamond" seven shot 9mm that is small enough to carry and a 5-shot J frame air-weight.    I carry them in the winter when folks are dressed thicker.   I've got belt holsters that draw them close to the body and could wear them in the summer with a loose shirt unbuttoned , or a vest.   But the little pocket pistols are so much easier.  
One of my carry options is a Ruger LCP in a pocket holster and I've got a LCP-II that is the 22LR twin for the 380 LCP.    Ya'll know the CCI Stinger type ammo turn the 22LR into a "No-Joke" item against summer wear clothing .

So how do you fellers carry those bigger size heavy pistols when winter is over ?  

Even with a State Concealed Carry permit , I'm not allowed to carry on the military's bases , that would require a Federal Permit.   So yea , the MP's had a real reason.  
But
The State permit is a completely difference situation .    
In the Class I took , we learned the places we are not allowed to carry , like State Building , bars and restaurants that serve alcohol , county courthouses , school buildings and places that are posted with the "no firearms allowed"  sign.  

I was the second one in my county to get a permit and have never had a problem .   One time I got pulled over for doing 41 in a 30 zone and the officer ask me to let him hold my pistol while he wrote a warning ticket but then handed it back after telling me to "slow down".  
My TN permit is good in NC and most other states other than up in part of  Yankee-Ville and California .

But still Concealed Carry doesn't raise any eyebrows as long as the concealed part works , and so the small pocket pistol or "J frame" size in a good close-fitting belt holster works good for me.   If ya never go out of your state then it don't really matter anyway !
