Got a good deal today from a local BST site (Florida Gun Trader). Guy was getting out of 40 S&W and had eight 50-round boxes (400 rounds) for $175. What made it a good deal was six of the boxes (300 rounds) was 180g Speer Gold Dots. That's about half price from what I've seen online.

Yay :P
A man cannot call himself peaceful if he is not capable of violence. If he's not capable of violence he isn't peaceful, he is harmless. There is a distinct difference.

I wasn't familiar with that pistol and had to look it up. Looks nice, what made you switch to it from the G17?
Where I store my bedside gun was just big enough for the 17 with Mod9sk suppressor. This cuts another 1/2"+ off the whole package so it's a bit more convenient.
Plus, it's a cool new gun 😁

It is cool looking. Okay, stupid question time: What brand mags does it take? I'm guessing Glock but the frame kinda looks like a Sig X-carry frame.

Glock mags. It comes with PMags, but any factory mags will work too.
It's almost a straight Glock clone. They just tried to improve anything they thought they could.
