    3-hrs & 49-mins to my first gun!

    Woo hoo...! Just around 4-hrs more before I get my first gun - a Glock 22...!

    Can't wait!

    I already have my pistol safe, my cleaning kit, cleaning mat, ammo box (with locks), etc. (yeah -- $$$ in the last prior weeks)

    Read through several forum threads, YouTube videos (on cleaning/lubing), Users Manual, etc.

    And of course, already gone through one Basic Handgun course (with a 40-cal Sig P229, though); and been doing Dry Fire with a NextLevel SiRT laser pistol.

    Best of ALL - sent in my New Member registration with the GSSF. Hoping to get a Blue Label Glock in the NEAR future! (or at least, able to qualify for the Armorer's Course)


    PS: May not get it, however, until tomorrow, because the shop (in Hacienda Hts) closes at 6pm; and I work all the way in West LA...

    I hate it when I can't pick up my new gun on the first second that it's available.

        Why so that you can't pick it up?

            When did SIG start participating in the Glock blue label program?

            Congrats btw.

                    WOW!
                    It really sounds like you are coming down with a 24 hour virus. You better go home and take care of yourself, NOW!

                      Funny you mentioned that...

                      I'm actually ALREADY a member of NRA (3-years), even before I fired my FIRST shot. *LOL*

                      As such, I said - heck with it - gotta learn the thing...

                      No - the Blue Label is just Glock. My first gun, which I'll be getting, is a Glock.

                      However, the gun I used for the Basic Handgun was a Sig, rental, of course (from the instructor).

                      UPDATE: I saw my MISTAKE. My bad! Corrected it - cheers...

                          Congratulations. Sounds like you are doing everything right.

                          Sometimes when its the right day to pick up a new gun I show up 30 minutes early and just wait. That's what a dork I am about guns.

                          Enjoy your new Glock.
