Wow, with all this I'm thinking about going back and getting an M&P 22.  However, I really cannot find anything wrong to speak about on my Buckmark 22.  Perhaps only the cost and availability of extra mags.  But that sure is a great pistol as well.

The M&P 22 will be a great basic defense training gun.....I bought mine for beginning students to use.... ;) now it's a tax write off......... ;)

Well I got the Seecamp in today, and wow!  Craftsmanship is outstanding, the smell of Eezox has filled the room, and I am a happy guy.  This is the first firearm I have ever bought sight unseen.  Thanks Tom at Irish Guard for helping me out.  Attached is a little pic I took for a friend of mine with the Seecamp on top of my Colt Defender (compact 1911) so he could grasp how small the Seecamp is.



It's been a good gun week.  Got the Bodyguard First Edition box set, the Seecamp, and even got in 18 holes this morning.  Look out!!  I'm on a roll!

The Colt Defender is a great carry gun, I had the New Agent but the trench sights took a little getting used to.

Yes the Defender is an exceptional firearm, but definitely a cold weather gun to conceal properly.  It lately has taken a back seat to the R9 as my daily carry and has found a new home in the nightstand.
