I Am Shill of Blackhawk. You Will Be Assimilated.

I just ordered a SERPA holster for my P220. That might sound a little . . . whorish, but I'm buying mine through www.tactical.com with my own money.

Why? Well, several reasons. I'm buying from Tactical.com because I assume the name alone gives me added tacticality points. Also, they're based out of St. Louis, so I'm hoping I can have my holster by Thursday so I can use it in my next IPSC match.
I'm buying the SERPA because I used my old FOBUS last week and it's just not cutting it anymore. The SERPA version makes reholstering far too easy and positive to go back.

Once the Gun Blog .45 arrives, I'll probably start using it more--but that will be awhile. I don't know when they'll ship the things, but even when they do, I still have to serve a three-day waiting period from the time I pay my FFL--and nowadays, it's apparently three business days. So for the next couple of weeks I'll be using the SIG, and even when the GB.45 arrives, I don't foresee that the SIG will never see use. The P220 has gotten me through the tough times. It's been there for me when I needed an accurate, reliable friend. It deserves a good holster.

  4. What can I say? I'm a shill, but I'm cheap. :)

    I have enough mag pouches to carry four single-stack mags whether they're SIG or 1911 pieces.

  5. "I still have to serve a three-day waiting period "

    And register it. And maintain a FOID. And you still can't carry the thing.

    Get a UHaul and pack up your younguns and move over here to Missouri!

    We need good teachers here too.

  6. The one good thing about Illinois is that there's no registration of the gun, only the owner. Not that they haven't tried. . . .

    And I do carry, just in an awkward and impractical way designed more to annoy than to be effective. It's a lot like the way I write.
