Default A little Rock followed me home today
I bought a Rock Halfling as my first Rock.

Amazing

Half the cost or less of every other comparable pistol in the store. It looks well made. I took it to the indoor range at the store and put it through the paces.

No malfunctions.

Amazing...

Already have a lightweight Sig that is my EDC. Wonderful gun, and not outrageously expensive but a good bit more than the Rock. I wanted a steel frame compact that I could, uh, abuse.

Colt lightweight weighs 27oz while this little gem comes in at 32oz. Big strong guy like you should be able to handle the extra 5oz...

My Escort is 22oz so, both of those are heavyweights!

I currently carry a 32oz Beast.....hurts my back at the end of the day.

And I like the subdued billboard - very tasteful instead of tacky. That was one thing that I did not like about Rocks.
