 The spare magazines for the Springfield 9MM arrived today. They got here fairly quickly considering that Monday was Presidents day . I have read a bunch of reviews and am looking foreword to trying out the new pistol . As of this morning it looks like spring , most of the snow has melted , and the temperature is warm , but that is going to change . Friday its going to get ugly again, rainy colder and snow , but the days are getting longer and we are almost into March , it'll soon be time to put away the snow shovel and fire up the rototiller!

   Picked up a new carry pistol. 1911 3 inch barrel 9MM Ronan by Springfield Armory It feels good in hand , substantial  looks good. My only complaint is it came with one magazine. I ordered three spares from S.A. they'll probably be here Tuesday . My original plan was a inexpensive 9MM for a truck gun . Well that didn't work ! This little fellow was not cheap, but I have read numerous good reviews of them.


                                                     Something to do on a slow afternoon ?


                                                     makes as much sense as the other guesses.
