      Yup, first build so processhead no experience but lots of experience in this building so I should hopefully be able to do it without too much issue. I bought the lower about 2 years ago just to have and wanted the rest before anything happens and we can’t buy them or something else gets serialized on it.

      I absolutely will continue posting pics. I am excited for the optics to arrive, I got a good deal on a red dot that I liked. memorial day sales played a large part in me finally ordering the rest of what I needed.

                One ragged hole groups from a .30 cal are easier to shoot than from a .22 cal. lol 😉

                Still, very nice.

                      Austin I am 100% down for this, obviously, I will have to shoot with mine a bit first though! On a related note I had an enormous victory yesterday. My wife and I were talking and she said “what was the small pistol that (a friend of ours) had when we went shooting” It was a .38 glock and when I asked her why and she said that “all the news about shootings recently has me thinking I don’t want to be unable to defend myself” I cried in pride and we are now pricing .38s for her! All of my 2A subliminal messaging with her has started to pay off!

                          Jonathon After you get the gun, be sure to get extra ammunition and get out and get your wife familiar with the gun. Only problem I see is if she is like my wife, you will be doing less shooting and more loading of magazines.

                              bocephus Our friend had an AR and an FN SCAR and she wasnt interested in shooting either, she did put about 50 rounds through that little glock .38 though. I am still hopeful, having her want her own hand gun is a HUGE step!

                                Jonathon When I was dating my wife and first married my wife wouldn’t touch a gun, now she owns a few and loves to shoot. If you are interested in seeing her shoot more try a 22 rifle, my wife has a 10/22 and absolutely loves it, my sister in law shot it when visiting and then my brother had to buy her one and still blames me.

                                  Jonathon It’s an easy build and after you do 1 you will be up to 4 like me in pretty short order. Also, don’t be surprised if it jams a few times at first; it always seems like I need to put 50-100 rounds thru it before it truly worked great. And, lots of ammo can go thru it pretty fast, leaving you wondering how your out of ammo already!

                                      I was wondering the same thing.
                                      Pretty rare to hear references to .38 caliber semi auto pistols although technically 9mm para. is a nominal. 38 cal. diameter projectile.

                                        I was wondering the same thing.
                                        Pretty rare to hear references to .38 caliber semi auto pistols although technically 9mm para. is a nominal. 38 cal. diameter projectile.

                                        processhead true and is why our .380 caliber is known as 9mm kurz to our European friends. Im still stumped on what Glock Jonathon is talking about and I have been a Glock armorer for about 30 years.

                                          At first it seemed Jonathon was talking about the compact .45 ACP, or maybe a case of confusion.
                                          Can’t imagine Mrs. Trembley enjoying as session with a compact .45.
