I'm up for it. If you want to go to Oak Tree in the AM we can come back to my crib for a few burgers or steaks afterwards, as you know its only about two miles away.

Took it out today for the first time with my 25 year old son (he brought his AR-15 knockoff). Man is that 40 tight! I only fired about 100 rounds, mainly because the magazine springs were so strong. I had a hard time pushing in 5 rounds in the 6 and 7 round magazines by hand. Got home and my son turned turned me on to his magazine speed loader. Much easier to stuff the mags with it! Never seen one before.

The 40 shoots nice, and a bit more kick than my old S&W 9. Much easier to take apart and clean and reassemble then my old 9, but the 9 has a nice old fashioned quality feel to it, plus its been broken in for the 25 years I've owned it.
