I like that dog. That is a nice dog.

Oh, the pistol is nice too.

His name was Lucky. We had him for over 11 years. He crossed the rainbow bridge earlier this year.

From the Ruger website, here is a picture of my 191 9mm.

When I was working the gun counter in a discount store back in the late 1970's, I discovered the Star PD, and I really liked it. Never did buy one, though, as the wonder-nines were really popular at the time. I ended up buying a S&W 459 instead. A fellow employee was going into the LE academy, and he had bought the 539, which was the single stack carbon steel version, and wanted to trade me. The 539 fit my hand better, being thinner, so I traded with the fellow. Found out I didn't like DA/SA pistols, so sold the 539. Wouldn't mind having a Star PD now.

That was a dog with character written on his face. I would have loved to have met him.

Ive owned so many of them, but it was a platform that I just didnt hold on to in the past. These two will never leave the stable. In 2016 I decided to join the geezer group in IDPA. Sold my G34 setup and grabbed this Dan Wesson PM9 on the cheap with the employee discount when I was at CZ-USA. Best $869 ive ever spent.

My second DW is the Razorback 10mikemike. Over a decade ago, I gave my brother some life advice and steered him to getting his degree in Electrical engineering. He ended up double major EE and math, with a minor in physics. When he graduated, i told him that if someone had given me advice like that, i would feel obligated to give them an appreciation gift. And his gift to me was that Dan Wesson 10mm.

Theyre beautiful, butter smooth, and super dee duper accurate.

I love the DW 10mm's. I have a bunch of the early "1 of 150's" Razorback's myself. Those and the Springfield Omega Match are the most accurate 10mm's I've found and I've owned nearly all except those that have came out in the past couple of years.
