New 809 SS

I thought I'd attach a couple photos of my new PT 809 SS. It arrived at my FFL Thursday from Buds Gun Shop. Took about a week for Buds to process my ACH payment and then another 3 days to ship it, but after it shipped it arrived fast.

I'm more impressed with it than I thought I would be. It strips like a Glock which is nice. In fact I showed it to a law enforcement friend of mine who seemed surprised with how well the gun seems to be crafted.

Both of us would like to take it to the range.... but it's still hard to find ammo here in South Georgia. I have a few boxes of high priced SD rounds, but I don't really want to waste that on a target.

I'm going to wait a bit and see if some of our local suppliers get in more stock, if not, I might have to get my brother to find some for me in Atlanta. He seems to report better availability up there.

I did strip it down last night and gave it a good cleaning to get all the factory grease out of it. To give you an idea of how it comes, you can still see quite a bit of lubricant on the spare mag in the second photo. I hand't cleaned it yet when I took the photo.

I'll post a range report as soon as I can get some ammo.
