Getting Acquainted

[kiyakotari]

Learning my way around the Bobcat. Read half-way through the manual (again - I already had a copy from the internet, which I read a week and a half ago), then field-stripped it. Surprisingly easy to do. So tiny! Fits my hands perfectly, which is a nice change from the other guns I've handled. And I was right - the random spare clip I have is the one made by Beretta for this gun. Which makes me grin - it was fate, apparently, for this to be my first.



I should be sleeping right now, since I work tonight, but I'm going to spend some more time familiarizing myself with the gun. Because, you know. Excited.

I guess this means my pistol-owning cherry has well and truly been popped. ^_______^

(I'm also surprised by how FAST the check with ATF cleared. It's supposed to take 7-14 days. I filled out the paperwork after noon on Wednesday, and the dealer called me today to tell me I was good to go and to come pick up my gun. @_@ That's only three days. Just under a week from ordering to having the gun in my hands, and that's without a CCW, because I haven't gotten one yet.)

Sweet!!! When will you be taking it out?

Probably not until next weekend, since this Sunday is Mother's Day, which means I'll be busy pampering my mom. ^_^;; But I might end up taking it out this Sunday or Monday, since I'll be bringing it up to my parent's house when I go up there, to show my dad, and he's almost as excited about it as I am. (Seriously. We were talking on the phone and I told him I'd bought it and he was just ridiculous - all "I love you" and "we'll have to go shooting together" and "I'll get us a family membership at the gun club" and "I'm so proud." My dad is so cute.)

Heh. Good for Dad! The first Christmas my man and I were together, he bought me a revolver and we were both to excited to shoot it to wait until the indoor range opened, so in the freezing cold we went out to an unsupervised outdoor range by my parents and shot. It helped that I had given him a coach gun that morning!
