My sister’s birthday is today. She’s 40 years old. I got tired of trying to guess what she wanted and asked her to tell me if she needed/wanted anything. She said she wanted ammo.
She has a Walther PPK/S .380ACP. She has a North Carolina concealed handgun permit and carries as much as she can (she’s also a federal employee, so she can’t carry anywhere near work…she can’t even leave her weapon in her car while on work property).
I bought her 200 rounds of Winchester Personal Protection JHP ammo. It’s JHP ammo that is designed for defense (it is not range ammo). I told her to ensue that she shoots 25 or so rounds to ensure the gun can fire the ammo without feed or extraction issues.
When speaking on the phone with her, she also stated she’d been watching my Facebook posts and had gotten herself an Alien Gear IWB holster (the Cloak Tuck 2.0). I was very surprised, as I thought she was carrying in her purse. She asked for belt suggestions. I told her to go back to where she bought her gun (in Fayetteville) and ask them if she could try her 1.25″ belts (she shouldn’t need anything bigger for the PPK/S). I told her that a good strong belt is essential but she’s already been wearing the holster and says it’s extremely comfortable for her.
On a different note, I saw someone on the forums complaining about their P320 Subcompact’s round trigger guard and the fact that the grip module assembly might not fit in other holsters designed for other sizes of P320 handguns. Well, I’ve a P320 Compact shell for my cloak Tuck 3.0 IWB holster. I’ve the P320 Compact and have the parts to convert it to Subcompact. I converted it and tested fitment in the aforementioned holster…it fits without issue, probably because I’m using the Compact slide with the Subcompact grip module. In that configuration, the slide dictates fitment more than the SC’s trigger guard. That’s a good thing, since I didn’t want any more holsters / shells.
