All of us have bought guns, run them for a while and then moved away from the platform for one reason or another. Then, there are the one's that after running them for a bit, we commit to the platform. Maybe not as the one and only, but we make the decision that the gun's a keeper.
Recently, I started to carry a G30sf again. I was really enamored with the gun when new, but then kind of wandered away from it. I'm carrying it again despite it's tendendy to send brass at me instead of to the side. Last weekend, I finally committed to the platform. For me, that means buying a second one and then ordering good leather for it. My favorite holster is the Kramer OWB Scabbard in horsehide. Those are not the most expensive holster out there, but they are not cheap either. Ordering that holster is when I know I'm into a gun long term. I've done that for my 1911s, G23 and CZs, but there are a others that don't make the cut for carry.
When does the INGO faithful know when they've committed to a platform long term? What's the one thing you do that doesn't get done until you've decided that it's a keeper?
