Guns, yeah, you expect that some of your acquisitions are going to cause your wallet to scream in pain.

Not so much pain on this deal ...

New acquisitions are going to have to wait for a spell. Just got hired on for a new job, but there's going to be about a month and a half of pain with no funds coming in. It'll be worth it as we're building up a brand new program at one of the school districts. Training will be pretty intense as we'll be Level 1 Active Shooter certified.

One of the issues I've had with carrying my Masada on duty is the lack of resources in obtaining a Level III duty holster for the weapon. I was able to find a Level II holster through Orpaz, but finding one the meets Level III standards has been difficult. I finally found a source (another Israeli company) and put in an order last April in anticipation of getting this new job. The nice thing about this company is they'll modify a holster to your specifications depending on what you have on your weapon. For example, they wanted specifics on my RDS and wanted me to take some measurements so they could get me exactly what I needed. Takes a while for them to get it done, but mine is finally on the way and will be in my hands by Thursday.

The company is Front Line Holsters. Check 'em out. They have some decent stuff and the fact they're willing to work with a customer to get exactly what they need puts them high on my goto list.

Hmmmmmmm. I think I'll have to hold one before I pass judgement. It'll either be a hit, or an unmitigated disaster.

Ooooof! Started the new job last week and one of the things they require is the serial number on my sidearm. On the Masada, it's on the trigger group so I decided to pull it yesterday so I could write down the serial number.

Ummmmmm, I hadn't realized how long it's been since I've really cleaned this thing. I'll take pics later, but it's pretty bad.

I think there's probably close to 1,000 rounds through it since the last thorough cleaning.

**sigh** Dammit. I screwed something up really bad putting the trigger group back into the frame. This is not good as now the weapon doesn't go into battery now. Trigger is dead dead dead. I think I bent something I shouldn't have bent. I may be buying another Masada this week and sending this one in for gunsmithing.

**whew** Figured it out. Had to watch a video 3 times before I saw the issue. She works good now.

But now you don’t have an excuse to buy another and have a pair of ‘em.

In another month, sure. But first paycheck is still a month out and $500 for a new firearm isn't something I budgeted for.
