    She was a good ol' dog..

    Well today I have to do one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life. I have to bring Emma (my yellow lab) to the vet and have her put down. She was a rescue dog of the best kind, and man she was such a good dog with my little girl. She will be missed for sure.

    Does anyone have any experience with these pistols? I had my mitts on one last night it seemed pretty nice. Side by side the fit and finish seemed to be just as good as or better than the Springfield TRP and about 200$ cheaper.
