Well, when I got home from work today and checked the mailbox, I had an envelope from the Superior Court. My license is in and unrestricted. Good to go until May, 2019. Letter and card were mailed on December 29 after filing on August 9, so just a shade under 5 months. I'm going to start out trying my Sig P229 IWB in my Blackpoint Tactical holster and see how it goes for a while. If that doesn't quite work out because, let's face it, the P229 is a fatty for IWB carry, I'm going to give some serious consideration to a P225-A1 which will require a visit to Chris.

Nice.. Be safe..

Congrats sir.
I came home and received mine today as well !
Patience paid off.

congratulations Marc...you are welcome any time
Thanks Chris! I'll probably be in touch in the near future to look into a new acquisition or two!

Congradulations

Congrats and carry safe.

Feels good that more and more citizens are receiving their permits. Glad to hear all of you are now legal to carry.
-
Thanks again all. Well, I carried my P229 IWB all weekend and had no issues with it while wearing jeans, a t-shirt and a fleece top over it all. I definitely need to reconsider my carry choice for work though as I found the P229 is just a little too much of a fat kid for IWB carry in any of my suits...Sig P245 it was for the day.
-
Single stack in your near future?
-
On the single stack front I have a few 1911's and the Sig P245, but with the exception of the P245 and my Wilson CQB, they're all full size guns. I'm giving serious thought to picking up a Walther PPS, Sig P239 or Sig P225-A1

Take a look at the Springfield Armory XDs. It's a single stack in 9mm or .45 Auto with either a 3.3" or 4' barrel. It's what i carry.

I second the XDS. I have one in .45 and I really like it.

I agree Springfield XDs. Get a Pierce Grip for the magazines as this gives you a place for your pinky. I carry 9mm as to me the 45 version has a lot of recoil for a gun this small.
-
The Walther PPS 9mm, either classic or M2, is super reliable. I have 800+ rounds through my M2 without any issues. Comfy to carry IWB with the 7 round mag which gives my pinky a place to rest. Very accurate for a somewhat short barrel. I picked it up from Chris just after they came out. No regrets.
-
Love the PPS and it is very reliable. I do have my eye on the XDs, nice pistol and a lot of good reviews. If I buy a 45 it will be the XDs.
-
Congratulations and safe carry!!!!
Strike Fear!
-
I also have the XDs in .45 with 3.3" barrell. Nice pistol.
-
I'll be popping down to see Chris about a PPS either over the weekend or the front end of next week to check out a PPS for the days where I have to wear a suit and my P229 is just a little too much of a fat kid.
-
You won't be sorry. Nice shooting pistol.
-
And with a huge thanks to a "donation" by Chris, I'm now the proud new owner of a Walther PPS M1 ;D I can't wait to shoot the little guy!
-
Great! I'm sure you will enjoy it.
-
Got to shoot the PPS a couple times and I must say, I dig it.
-
I just got my holster for the PPS for a 3 o'clock carry. Used to have an appendix carry holster and ended up carrying my Glock 43 instead at 3 o'clock with my Vedder comfort tuck. Now I am back to PPScarry! I really enjoy this pistol that Chris recommended and sold me when I first bought a handgun for concealed carry. I have confidence in both pistols but definitely shoot the PPS more accurately. I'm sure you feel the same Marc. Now I need to renew my Elk Neck range license and see Chris for some more range ammo. I hope I don't buy another pistol because I know I can't conceal it from my wife. :)

I'm definitely loving the little PPS. Today I don't have to wear a suit at work so I'm carrying my Sig which along with my Wilson 1911, I shoot best, but I really like everything about the PPS. The only thing I need to do is get a better holster for it. At the moment I'm fairly generic Galco IWB holster which is okay, but definitely not the most secure feeling holster. I think I'm going to take the plunge on another Blackpoint Mini Wing since I really love that holster for my Sig.

That Walther PPS disappears! I wear the PPQ most of the time but that PPS comes in handy sometimes and its so flat and thin I love it. The feel is what really gets me.. it feels like a heavier all steel handgun yet it isn't. Just feels dense, sturdy and capable in the hand. I'll carry with the flush bottom 6-round mag and carry the 8-round mag as a spare. The wife decided she liked mine so much it became hers and I bought a new one for myself, both the Classic paddle versions. I went full in with the Comp-Tac MTAC holster for most of my CC handguns including the PPS but have a pocket holster for it also.
