So, my lovely bride sent me to Bi-Mart to purchase another coffee maker. It seems that I tend to wear them out after three pots a day for a year and a half. After picking out a red Mr. Coffee and putting it in my shopping cart (I'm old and lean on them like a walker) I headed over to the sporting goods area. Well, I see that they had 525 round Federal .22 hollow points for$19.xx, so I bought a box of those and then went to the handgun case. There, in all it's radiant glory sits a pastel blue 9MM! I think to myself, "Who would want to carry a blue handgun? Perhaps a female or one of those I'm not sure of my gender folks?" Then I saw the price tag.......$199.00! A closer look showed that it was manufactured by SCCY (pronounced "Sky") and was their DAO model CPX-2.
As a former Marine Gunnery Sargent, I would not be caught dead sporting a blue pistol. I mentioned that to the nice lady behind the counter. She said that they also had a few black one. You don't say!
I already own a Glock 19 ( I think that everyone does) and an assortment of .380's, etc. But I could use one for a truck gun! Now that I have rationalized buying yet another handgun, I told the gal to bring it out and sell it to me.
I cautioned her that I was not a gang-banger or drug user and that I was a citizen of these here United States, but I still wanted to purchase that itty-bitty hand cannon. Half an hour later I took ten rounds out of my extra Clock mag and loaded up a mag for the Sky. It kind of reminds me of a Kel-Tec that I own.
So, today, my dog, my Glock and a bunch of ammo, went to my favorite outdoor shooting area and proceeded to "break-in" the newest member of the arsenal. All things considered, it's a nice little gun. At $218.00 (I live in the great state of liberal Washington, where our sales tax just keeps going up and up) and for that kind of money you can barely have a nice dinner with a fat girl, let alone own a very concealable, lightweight, 10 shot (two magazines) 9MM. Oh and it comes with a lifetime, no questions asked guarantee that follows the gun, not the original buyer. Anyone else own one of these?
