Thanks for the warm and fuzzy, I guess I wont beat the wife and kick the poor dog when I get home today then. I was in Jacksonville, NC for a few years, it seems that the prices in general were much more competitive down your way. I belonged to a gun club called Flatwoods located just outside of LeJeune/Jacksonville, the had a shop with excellent prices. Guess you win some and loose some. My problem was just that, I could not get a Kimber from my regular shop, so I went into the unknown cause I was hellbent on buying a Kimber.
