Boys playing with girl toys!
« on: July 31, 2008, 03:32:34 PM »
Hi!

First time back since the board moved, sorry for the delay, been a bit busy!

Oh yea, did I mention that my boyfriend asked me to marry him? Hehehe, on Friday, July 25th Kevin popped the question. Pictures of the trip and the ring are posted on my site, krystalandkevin.com. :-)

Moving right along then, as we were on vacation he still hasn't shot that beautiful CZ75 Compact of mine. We're going to go out this weekend for his turn to play, and I'll have to post his comments on it.

Any news from the other ladies of the board? I'll talk to you all later!

That is my bird dog, a field bred English Springer Spaniel. She's 1 1/2 years old, my angel, and LOVES the outdoors.

Haven't set a date quite yet, but I started talking to reception halls yesterday and just need to confirm with my church, it's probably going to be March 28th. I think the ring is beautiful :-) He does have good taste, and it helps that my Mom is a jeweler hehehe

I built that website to use as a family album. You know, digital cameras and all, makes it much easier. I have two other sites, www.pennsylvaniasportsmen.com (never really took off, unfortunately) and www.artbymyrna.com (my grandmother's art website, she does professional painting).

Ok, all for now. Have fun!

 I love English Springer Spaniels. They are so cool. I have 2 prue bread Cocker Spaniels and 2 Cocker Mixes. Plus 4 cats. Silly cats that is. March 28th sounds like a good time to get married. Really it is a nice time of the year.

  Yes it does help to have a mom in the jewelery business.

 Take care and again Congrats.

My Dad was the breeder for Gunner. She was in a litter of 8, 4 black and white (all male EXCEPT Gunner), 3 Liver and White, and one tri-color (who my Dad kept, and he is absolutely beautiful, names Toby).

I took Gunner out for her first season at birds last fall, and she flushed me 2 grouse and a pheasant. Now, we have to lock her in the family room just to clean our guns. The smell of Hoppes gets her going every time, and if she sees the shotgun out she goes nuts. It's so much fun with her around.

I have a kitty cat too, a domestic long hair named Gail. She's 9 years old, has FIV, and you'd never know it. The only unfortunate thing (outside of the obvious) is that I can't have another kitty until Gail is gone, which I obviously don't ever want to happen so hey.

Yea, Kevin inherited a family, that's for sure!

  I'm sorry about Gail having FIV. She sounds like she's living life to it's fullest. Good kitty. What a cool doggie you have. Goes nuts when he sees a firearm. He sounds like he has fun when you go hunting. My dogs are between 7 and 10 years old and all they do is sleep,eat and want thier ears scratched.

  You have a great dog and kitty.

FIV would normally suck, but my vet says she's in better health than most healthy cats. She's 9, but you'd think she were 2 months old. :-)

Gunner is actually a she :-) I had to be difficult. Gunner is an awesome dog, but as a spaniel she's PSYCHO hyper. Everyone says she'll quiet down around 3 years old. I love the energy in the field, but hate it in my living room! haha

I'm taking Kevin out to shoot the 75 Compact this weekend. Can't wait, been two weeks since at the range and he hasn't shot the gun he bought me yet (funny how that happens). I'll let you know what he thinks!

Sorry about that. I didn't know Gunner was a girl. When it cools off a bit I am going to go to the range and shoot my PCR 9mm CZ. I got for christmas from my husband. He is so cool.

 Yes,please let me know what he thinks of your CZ. I am looking foward to reading it.

So Kevin took Friday off to do some "gun play time" with me. Started the morning by getting my PA conceal carry permit... happy day!

Then we went to the range. As usual we took an arsinal, the Ruger Mark II, my CZ 75 Compact, the Glock 10m (think it's a Glock 30 to be precise), the Keltec mouse gun, and the Kimber 1911 .45 target. Fun times indeed.

The CZ 75 kicked butt as usual, and of course Kevin did try it out. Didn't take much urging. He loved it. He's not a fan of the trigger while it's in SA.. but he is considering it as his compact/full size carry and figures he'd just modify the trigger.

I did get my carry permit, so of course I started "practicing" immediately. He has several holsters that almost fit, fit enough for me to test things out. concealing the 75 compact on a female body sure is going to get interesting. I have an IWB holster on the way so we'll see how it goes, but I very well may end up with a mouse or something much smaller than the 75 Compact as a second carry gun.

Have fun!

Congrats on getting your concealed carry permit. Yes it is a happy moment when it comes in the mail. Sounds like you and Kevin had a great time at the range. I am glad he liked your CZ. I tried my husbands CZ PO1 and I didn't want to give it back to him. I did anyway.

  As for females carring a gun. Well it's easy if your well endowed like I am. Sorry I had to put that in. IWB are great when they don't dig into your hip. I had several like that and I got rid of them. It took me a year to find the right holster. That was really nice of Kevin to take the day off and go to the range with you.


   Have fun,
     Jo

Thanks on the congrats. :-)

My holster shipped last night so we'll see how it goes. He has the same one for his Kimber that I tried. Comfort wasn't much of an issue with it, but the size of the butt of the firearm was an issue.

I'm not petite, but I am hour glass so the butt of the gun tends to sit away from my waste just above my hip. Printing was terrible. For now, I'm doing what I so didn't want to do, and I'm carrying it in a purse (cross over my body with the main pocket ONLY for the gun and NOTHING else with easy access, no hot round, but I still don't like it).

We'll see how the holster and the CZ go. The kimber is a good bit larger than the CZ so I may be worried over nothing. I am taking a good hard look at the Ruger LCP just in case though, having a mouse gun for those summery occasions (ladies know what I mean!) may not be a bad idea anyway.

Take care!

 Of course it isn't a bad idea. We gotta do what we gotta do. I used to carry my gun in my purse too. I hated it because it was hard to get to. When my holster got here I tried it and it was like I didn't have a gun on my hip. It was that comfortable.

 Nothing wrong with Ruger. I have a Ruger 10/22. I have a great deal of fun with it at the range.  Let us know when you get it and if you like it or not.


  You take care too,
