Told both our kids I would buy them a firearm if they got their Conceal Carry License. Daughter ended up with a Ruger SP101. This morning we went to Gander and looked at the VP9 and the PPQ, along with the XD and Sig 320 after breakfast at IHOP.
He wanted the VP9, or so he thought. I had him close his eyes and put the PPQ and VP9 in his hands randomly. I'm not sure I could have told the difference blind, but he kept picking the HK. They are both pretty handsome firearms. I'm not really a polymer striker fired guy, but it's not for me. On sale for $649.00 which was about 5 bucks more than the best I saw on gunbroker with shipping, and less than with CC fees. So, 250 rounds of practice ammo, 20 rounds HD ammo, a BlackHawk retention holster and a safe and $928.xx later he's got a good start I think. 48 hour wait in Wisconsin. I'm looking forward to shooting it! We both felt like the XD and the Sig was like holding a brick, and I have 4 Sigs! I've heard nothing but good about the 320. It's all business, I think he was looking for something different than Dad tho. I carry a 226 SAO.
