I don't have an indoor range nearby to go shoot at and if I did, I don't
know if they'd let me shoot my .41Mag anyway. Too cold to set up some
targets outside right now, but your comment did get me thinking about it.
Might wait for temps to get back up into the 30's so that it will feel like
a heat wave and we look for something to do outside. Thinking it's almost
time to pull the trigger (so to speak...) on a new gun. Still undecided
whether I'm going to go with a .40S&W or a 9mm. Good arguments on both
sides and I keep bouncing back and forth. I want something that conceals
well which makes me tend toward the 9mm but I like the overall
characteristics of the .40S&W. I'm not one who sees the 9mm as a useless
gun. All I know at this point is that an auto is in the near future for me.
Probably early summer.

I'm seriously considering a Kimber 1911 (gotta get the house
closed/sold first) but for a carry gun I bought a Walther PPK (.380).
It easily fits in a pocked. I also have a Beretta 92FS (9mm) and a
S&W 617 (.357) but there is no way to conceal them. I'm with you on
the 9mm comments. I'm not too worried about stopping anyone. That's
what the other 5 rounds are for. ;-)

9mm vs. .40. I'm not a fan of .40s. They seem to bark a lot. I
really can't put my finger on it but I much prefer the 9mm.
