hey all, new guy here, currently making payments on my new 24/7 G2 Compact .40 at a local retailer, will be taking possession of it in a few weeks. been wanting to get a firearm for awhile, the wife and I tossed around pistol vs. shotgun for home defense, decided pistol for the added conceal carry ability, finally got the chance to pick one out on the Saturday before fathers day of this year.
