Moonpie must have consumed too much of the Vodak already, since he isn’t pestering me about about whether or not a decision has been made.

Let’s just say he’ll find out the answer to his question before Cam does.

EDC X9: burnt bronze frame, black slide and small parts. magwell, no rail, tritium fiber optic sights, 2x 18 rd mags.

The scales tipped really as I was thinking about what guns I have that are heirlooms and why they came to me. They are all “working” guns with stories that include me in their history.

The DW is a fine gun, but it’s a BBQ pistol. The WC is a working gun and may very well be the last carry pistol I buy. I couldn’t say that about the DW.

And if my son or a grandson gets it one day, I want them to have that memory. You just don’t get that out of a BBQ gun.

Other brought up some other great points to ponder as we exchanged PMs. It also helped that the dealer was selling way below m.a.p.; to the point it wasn’t a significant jump in price from the DW anymore.

It’s the firearm equivalent of your Sunday go to meetin clothes.

A gun so fancy it mainly only gets used when you go to a BBQ and show it off. of course it goes without saying that it should be open carried.
