Got Mrs' "tacit approval" to buy
Hey! Mrs. has indicated a new pistol is in my future. All I had to do was go to a Fred Astaire Dance studio, take a "free" lesson and sign up for a two lesson "special"... after which there will be a hard sell to get us to purchase a package.
I WILL purchase a package, probably six group and 4 private lessons. Before you all go laughing uproariously..... (and I'm sure your already snickering!) in our younger days, Grace and I were competitive ballroom dancers as a hobby. Yup! Just like "Dancing with the Stars". You have GOT to see me in spandex latin pants! (Now... there's a visual, and one that will put you into therapy for years!) So while we don't dance competitively anymore, my enthusiasm to attend the sales pitch and take her dancing once a week for a month or so has seemed to pay off. And I'll enjoy the dancing myself anyway. She's not even telling me that it "has to be your own money" (of which I never have, she takes it all).... When I told her about my desire for a Dan Wesson... she just smiled at her girlfriend and said "he's a collector, and he's mine" THEN she said, "if we buy the dance package, your'e good to go on your new pistol." HAH! Now I have to figure out which one... The Guardian in 9 or 45? Or the CCO in 45? Opinions welcome y'all Dafadda

Well, it sounds like it will all work out for you, so good job. I, however will never try this.if I tried to dance, it would look like a bear stung on the testicles on ice..not a pretty sight. Maybe you can get to go too, and get a group rate.....come to think of it, if you make THAT hapen, we'll all take up a collection for your pistol

Now this is the type of response I expected! "A man's got to do what a Man's got to do"... I figure the dance lessons will end up around a $1000 bucks.... so a CCO or Guardian is an even trade. But I'm still not sure which I want.
I've shot the 9mm Guardian when I was with MPrimo, and the CCO, and the Valor. I agree with MPrimo; shooting plates with the Guardian in 9mm is like cheating at cards. It points that smooth. BUT.... I'm a 45 guy, and the CCO would make a wonderful carry. Still need and respect YOUR opinions... so keep 'em coming! BTW... the dance lessons will require an additional investment in Cialus!
